摘要

Abstract A broad set of N-arylprolinamides 1–8 with increasing NH acidity and steric crowding has been synthesized and its catalytic activity explored for enantioselective aldol reactions. In DMF containing 10 mol-% of TFA, all arylamides are found to catalyze the reaction between cyclohexanone and a variety of electrophilic aldehydes leading to aldols in excess of 90% yield and> 95% enantioselectivity. The perfluorophenyl catalyst 8 is ...
