water-compatible proline catalysts (4–6) derived from calixarene bearing a hydrophobic nature have been synthesised. It was found that the compound 4 was a highly efficient organocatalyst for aldol reactions occurred in the water. Under optimised reaction conditions, high yields (up to 82%), good enantioselectivities (ee up to 81%) and high diastereoselectivities (dr up to 91:9) were obtained.

Prolinamide organocatalysts with aminouracils have the features of enhanced NH acidity, an additional hydrogen‐bond donor and the self‐assembly with complementary modules by Watson–Crick pairing. Each module affects the selectivity of the reaction and particularly 2,6‐diaminopyridine is beneficial to the selectivity in the reaction.
[reaction: see text] Readily tunable and bifunctional L-prolinamides as novel organocatalysts have been developed, and their catalytic activities were evaluated in the direct asymmetric Aldolreactions of various aromatic aldehydes and cyclohexanone. High isolated yields (up to 94%), enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee), and anti-diastereoselectivities (up to 99:1) were obtained under the optimal conditions
Unprecedented bifunctional enamine–metal Lewisacidcatalysts have been developed. In this bifunctional catalytic system, a tridentateligand tethered with a chiral secondary amine was designed to solve the acid–base self-quenching problem leading to catalyst inactivation. This new bifunctional enamine–metal Lewisacidcatalyst was found to catalyze aldol reactions of ketones efficiently in high yields

The four-step synthesis of a chiral primary tertiary diamine salt, possessing a tropos dibenz[c,e]azepine ring is described. It is shown that 3.5–5 mol % of this salt is capable of promoting highly enantioselective crossed-aldol reactions between cyclohexanone and a series of aromatic aldehydes. In all cases, the aldol reactions proceed with high diastereoselectivity for the anti-aldol product. The
