Abstract:During the course of my research in asymmetric organocatalysis the inversion of enantioselectivity was observed in the asymmetric aldol reactions of acetone with different aldehydes catalyzed by amphiphilic proline derivatives in aqueous media varying only achiral components. It was not possible to explain the explored dual stereocontrol with the existing models, therefore I proposed a new mechanism for asymmetric aldol reactions catalyzed by l-amino acid derivatives in aqueous media and explained the explored… Show more
