Primary amino acids and their derivatives were investigated as catalysts for the direct asymmetric aldol reactionsbetween ketones and aldehydes in the presence of water, and L-tryptophan was shown to be the best catalyst. Solvent effects, substrate scope and the influence of water on the reactions were investigated. Quantum chemical calculations were performed to understand the origin of the observed

Glucosamine derivatives have been synthesized starting from commercially available N-acetyl-D-glucosamine/glucosamine hydrochloride and have been employed successfully as efficient organocatalysts for the direct asymmetric aldol reaction between cyclohexanone and aryl aldehydes having diversified substituents. Furthermore, the anomeric effect of various groups present at the anomeric position on the catalytic activity of these organocatalysts was also studied.

A proline-calix[4]arene thiourea host-guest complex catalyzed intermolecular aldol reaction of aromatic aldehydes with cyclohexanone has been developed. The anti-configured products were obtained in good yields and with high enantioselectivities. The reaction is proposed to work via a modified Houk-List model, where the carboxylate part of the praline constitutes as a supramolecular system with the thiourea. The outcome of the study indicates the influence of the calix[4]arene thiourea on both the reactivity and selectivity in a non-polar reaction medium, even in the presence of water at moderate temperatures.
