Abstract

The substitution of the 4-position of hydroxyproline by aphenol group, together with an aminal on the 2-position, gave a synergistic effect leading to two powerful complementary organocatalysts. They show excellent enantiocontrol in the -functionalization of a wide range of linear/branched aldehydes and ketones, including Michael additions to ethenediyl disulfones or nitrostyrene and -amination. We obtained ees up to 98.5 % with low catalyst loadings (down to 1 mol-%). As a proof of efficiency, TOFs of up to 1000 h-1 could be obtained.
