Chiral organoaluminum complex 1 efficiently catalyzed the asymmetric hetero-ene reaction of commercially available 2-methoxypropene (2) with aldehydes under mild conditions to give the corresponding β-hydroxymethyl ketones 3 in good to excellent chemical yields with high enantiomeric excesses. The asymmetriccatalysis of 1 was further applied to the carbonyl addition of methallylsilanes, where exclusive
Rational Combination of Two Privileged Chiral Backbones: Highly Efficient Organocatalysts for Asymmetric Direct Aldol Reactions between Aromatic Aldehydes and Acylic Ketones
A new class of organocatalysts has been designed by rational combination of proline with cinchona alkaloids. The chiral amine 3a, prepared from l-proline and cinchonidine, has been found to be an efficient catalyst for the directaldolreactions of acetone or 2-butanone with a wide range of aldehydes (up to 98% ee). The cinchonidine backbone is essential to the reaction efficiency and enantioselectivity
The Zn–proline complex is shown to catalyze the aldolreaction of acetone and a wide range of arenecarbaldehydes in aqueous media, accepting even deactivated arenecarbaldehydes such as methoxybenzaldehydes in good yields. Enantiomeric excesses of up to 56 % could be obtained with 5 mol-% of the catalyst at room temperature, and up to 66 %

The 4,5‐methano‐L‐proline was used as chiral organocatalysts in direct asymmetric aldolreactions. Under the optimal conditions, excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee) were obtained with high chemical yields (up to 95%) for a series of aldehydes using only 5 mol% catalyst loading. To show the practicality of the method, the reaction was tested at a large scale. The reaction was complete in 16

The 4,5-methano-L-proline was studied for the direct asymmetric aldol reaction of acetone or cyclohexanone with various aromatic and aliphaticaldehydes at -20 degrees C or 0 degrees C. A loading of only 5mol % of derivative la was employed in this catalytic system, and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee) and yields (up to 98% yield) could be achieved.
