A series of chiral amino oxazolines were synthesized and screened as organocatalysts for asymmetric
intermolecular aldol reactions between acetone and aromatic aldehydes. The reaction works well
with a range of aromatic aldehydes showing good to high selectivity. The present new system of the
organocatalyst was effective for the asymmetric aldol reaction for a wide range of aromatic
aldehydes and isatin to carry out an asymmetric carbon–carbon bond forming reaction with a high
enantioselectivity of up to 91%.
