l-Prolinamide-catalyzed direct nitroso aldol reactions of α-branched aldehydes: a distinct regioselectivity from that withl-proline

Abstract
The first direct enantioselective N-nitroso aldol reaction of aldehyde with nitrosobenzene catalyzed by an L-prolinamide derivative is presented; the reactions proceed smoothly furnishing the α-hydroxyamino carbonyl compounds, the otherwise disfavored products, in good yields with up to 64% ee.
