solution. They were first applied to catalyze aldolreactions, and were found to be effective catalysts for the transformations. The tetrapeptide Val-d-Pro-Gly-Leu-OH (1g) was the optimal organocatalyst. It was shown that the intensive β-turn conformation, indicated by CD and NOESY spectra, contributed to the (R)-aldol and high enantioselectivity of the reaction of acetone in MeOH, whereas the sharply varied

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
regio- and diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity under ambient temperature. Significantly, the reactions accommodate the synthetically important but challenging substrates, such as linear aliphaticketones, with high regioselectivity and unprecedented syn diastereoselectivity. These results are in sharp contrast with the secondary amine mediated similar reactions wherein anti diastereoselectivity
diamines including l,l'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diamine, were prepared in good yields. They were evaluated as catalysts for the directasymmetricaldolreaction. The presence of the binaphthyl and proline moieties in one molecule has beneficial effects on the stereochemical outcome of the reaction of acetone with a model aldehyde. Furthermore, it was shown that dioxane as the solvent significantly improved both

An intriguing effect of electronegative 2,6-substituents on the stereochemical outcome of (S) -proline-catalyzed aldol reactions between benzaldehyde derivatives and acetone is reported. Remarkably high enantioselectivities can be achieved with such substrates.
