A novel stereocontrol method for asymmetric aldol reactions of aldehydes with ketones is described. The stereoselectivity of the products is controlled by the electrostatic repulsion and hydrogen-bonding interactions of an N-aryl-L-valinamide catalyst. The use of this catalyst in a cross-aldol reaction allows easy access to bioactive 3-cyclohexanone-3-hydroxy-2-oxindole with excellent diastereo- (syn/anti = >99:1) and enantioselectivity (>99 % ee).
