Abstract

Enantioselective aldol reactions of isatins with acetone using phthalimido-prolinamide organocatalyst 1 are described. The protocol was effective under solvent free and additive free reaction conditions with 20 mol % of 1 leading to the desired aldol products in good yields and with good enantioselectivities.
