Popis: The rational design and implementation of enantiodivergent enamine catalysis is reported. A simple secondary amine catalyst, 2-methyl-l-proline, and its tetrabutylammonium salt function as an enantiodivergent catalyst pair delivering the enantiomers of α-functionalized aldehyde products in excellent enantioselectivities. This novel concept of designed enantiodivergence is applied to the enantioselective α-amination, aldol, and α-aminoxylation/α-hydroxyamination reactions of aldehydes.
