Abstract
(S)-3-(N-Isopropyl-N-3-pyridinylaminomethyl)BINOL is an efficient, bifunctional organocatalyst for the enantioselective aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman (aza-MBH) reaction. The acid-base-mediated functionalities for the activation of the substrate and the fixing of conformation of the organocatalyst are harmoniously performed to promote the reaction with high enantiocontrol.
