novel class of chiral diamine organocatalysts based on natural primary amino acids that efficiently catalyzesyn-selective aldol reactions of challenging linear ketones, such as 2-butanone, and aromatic aldehydes. In the presence of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) as Brønsted acid and 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) as co-catalyst, syn-aldol products have been obtained with excellent enantioselectivities of up to> 99%
