A highly enantio- and diastereoselective anti-aldol process (up to >99% ee, >99:1 dr) catalyzed by a proline mimetic-N-(p-dodecylphenylsulfonyl)-2-pyrrolidinecarboxamide-has been developed. Catalyst loading as low as 2 mol % can be employed. Use of industry-friendly solvents for this transformation as well as neat reaction conditions have been demonstrated. The scope of this transformation on a range of aldehydes and ketones is explored. Density functional theory computations reveal that the ori ...[more]
