A novel organocatalyzed C–C bond-scission reaction of saturated aldehydes containing a suitable leaving group at the β-position was used for the in situ formation of iminium intermediates, which were then captured by nucleophiles to achieve a direct enantioselective β-alkylation of aldehydes. Within short reaction times, the corresponding β-alkylated aldehyde products were obtained in high yields (48–87%)
