A series of primary-tertiary diamine catalysts were designed and synthesized from primary natural amino acids. Application of these new chiral catalysts in direct aldol reactions of α-hydroxyketones showed very good catalytic activity (up to 97% yield) and high syn selectivity (up to syn/ anti = 30:1, 99% ee).

Highly enantioselective, recoverable and cheap cysteine derivatives have been developed with improved solubility properties in common, nonpolar organic solvents. The reactions were catalyzed using 5 mol% 1e, and the aldol products could be obtained with up to 99:1 syn/anti ratio and >99% ee. The catalyst could be easily recovered and reused, with only a slight decrease of enantioselectivity observed for five cycles. Catalyst 1e can be efficiently used in large-scale reactions with enantioselectivity being maintained at the same level, which offers great possibility for application in industry. (i) Direct aldol reactions proceeded in 1,2-dichloroethane using simple procedures. (ii) Direct S-acylation of cysteine to give organocatalysts 1a–f can be economically carried out easily in a single step from commercially available sources, with both enantiomers being readily available. (iii) 5 mol% catalyst 1e was sufficient to furnish the aldol products in excellent yields (up to 93%) and enantioselectivities (up to 99%). (iv) Catalyst 1e could be easily recovered and reused, and also can be efficiently used in large-scale reactions with enantioselectivity being maintained at the same level, which offers great possibility for applications in industry.

A one-step O-acylation of threonine resulted in a simple and readily available threonine-surfactant organocatalyst that could efficiently catalyze the direct asymmetric aldol reactions of cyclic and acyclic ketones with a series of aromatic aldehydes in the presence of water at room temperature with good yields (up to 99 %), diastereoselectivities (up to 99:1), and enantiomeric excesses (>99 %). The
Highly efficient direct a larger-scale aldol reactions catalyzed by a flexible prolinamide based-metal Lewis acid bifunctional catalyst in the presence of water
prolinamide-based organocatalysts were readily synthesized and applied to the asymmetric direct aldolreactions of ketones and aromatic aldehydes in the presence of water. When TFA was used as an acidic additive, 10 mol % loading of 1c afforded aldol products with good diastereoselectivity of up to 91/9 and enantioselectivity of up to 85%. When ZnCl2 was added as a metal Lewis acid additive, the aldol product

The catalytic promiscuity of pepsin from porcine gastric mucous was observed in catalysis of the direct asymmetric aldol reactions of aromaticaldehydes with acetones, which were substituted by hydroxy-, dihydroxy-, methoxy- and benzyloxy- for the synthesis of diol compounds in acetonitrile. This biocatalysis was also applicable to the aldol reactions of cyclic or hetereocyclic ketones with aromatic
