(S)-NOBIN-L-prolinamide was employed as organocatalyst in the direct aldol reactions of different ketones and aromatic aldehydes using dioxane as solvent and in the presence of water as additive. Acetone led to the aldol products in up to 93% ee, while cyclic ketones furnished the anti-aldols in moderate to high yield, excellent diastereoselectivity (up to > 99/< 1 anti/syn ratio) and high ee (up to 95%).

Ficin from fig tree latex displayed a promiscuous activity to catalyze the direct asymmetric aldol reactions of heterocyclic ketones with aromatic aldehydes. Ficin showed good substrate adaptability to different heterocyclic ketones containing nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur. The enantioselectivities up to 81% ee and diastereoselectivities up to 86:14 (anti/syn) were achieved under the optimized reaction conditions. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Sterically and Electronically Tunable and Bifunctional Organocatalysts: Design and Application in Asymmetric Aldol Reaction of Cyclic Ketones with Aldehydes
tunable and bifunctional organocatalysts have been developed and evaluated in the direct aldolreaction of heterocyclic ketones. Catalysts with different substituents showed variablecatalytic efficiency for analogous substrates, indicating the importance of fine-tuning the strength of the hydrogen bonding in the two NH groups. The reactions all proceeded in good to high yield and with excellent enantioselectivities
