Cationic chiral surfactant (1R, 2S)-(-)-N-dodecyl-N-methylephedrinium bromide (DMEB) was utilized for the first time in inducing asymmetry to Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction in aqueous medium. Proton NMR studies carried out to determine the locus of the reaction in micro-heterogeneous micellar environment, were found useful in proposing a plausible model for asymmetric induction. This work demonstrates that under such mild and nonhazardous reactions conditions, the reaction rates increase, good yields are favored and above all reasonable enantiomeric excesses are obtained.
