The present invention provides, inter alia, a cyclopropenimine Brønsted base catalyst and a cyclopropenimine scaffold for use as a Brønsted base catalyst. This cyclopropenimine has the structure (100). Methods for making such a cyclopropenimine are also provided. Further provided are processes for carrying out an organic synthetic reaction and processes for catalyzing a proton transfer reaction enantioselectively using such a cyclopropenimine Brønsted base catalyst.
