The synthesis and application of a newly designed C2-symmetric chiral bifunctional triamine family (C2-CBT) is reported. These enantiopure chiral triamine scaffolds can be accessed in multigram amounts from simple amino acids while avoiding chromatographic purification. As a proof of principle, C2-CBT has been studied in the aldol reaction of cyclic ketones with isatins, with the target tertiary alcohols

Abstract □ Cyclohexanone, substituted cyclohexanones, and other cycloalkanones have been condensed with isatin and substituted isatins to give a series of new 3-hydroxy-3-substituted oxindoles. A number of these 3-hydroxyoxindoles possess anticonvulsant activity.
<i>In Situ</i>Formed Bifunctional Primary Amine-Imine Catalyst: Application to the Construction of Chiral Tertiary Alcohols through Asymmetric Aldol-Type Reaction
An in situ formation method to obtain chiral bifunctionalprimary amine‐imine catalysts from the C2‐symmetric chiral diimines has been developed. The efficiency of this method in the construction of chiral tertiary alcohols which are valuable pharmaceutical intermediates is proved by its application to the asymmetricaldol‐type reaction of cyclic ketones with other activated ketone compounds as the
Carbon nanodots stand as the missing link between the molecular and the nanoscale world, owing to the unique molecular-like behavior emerging from their synthetic precursors. A converging set of analytical and spectroscopic data yields a precise inventory of the surface reactive groups of amine-rich carbon dots (NCDs-1). As a result, NCDs-1 provide a multi-functional nano-platform that is able to covalently activate carbonyl groups, form iminium-ions and enamine intermediates, and efficiently promote diverse aminocatalytic transformations in water. Remarkably, the catalytic activity of carbon dots can also govern the stereoselectivity in the bond-forming event. Indeed, the use of chiral carbon dots (NCDs-7) as catalysts affords the final aldol products with significant enantiomeric excess. The successful implementation of carbon nanostructures into chemical roles so far restricted to molecular systems opens new avenues for advanced applications where the nanoscale and the molecular realms will merge and complement each other.
2-Azanorbornane-based amine organocatalyst for enantioselective aldol reaction of isatins with ketones
Optically active 2-azanorbornane-based organocatalysts were designed and synthesized, and the catalytic activity of these catalysts in enantioselective aldol reactions of isatins with ketones was investigated. Among these catalysts, 2-azanorbornylmethanol showed the best catalytic activity to afford the corresponding aldol product in excellent chemical yield (up to 95%) and with moderate stereoselectivity (up to 64% ee, up to syn:anti = 36:64).
