Significance: While indirect, catalytic, enantioselective aza-Diels–Alder reactions have been reported, this paper describes the first direct, organocatalytic aza-Diels–Alder reaction. Three components, enone, aqueous formaldehyde, and amine, are mixed with the proline catalyst and enantioselectivities greater than 94% are produced in many cases. When the enone was bsubstituted, the Mannich adduct was isolable. This indicated a stepwise mechanism where first the proline and enone form a chiral enamine, which reacts with the in situ formed imine (Mannich reaction); the anionic nitrogen then adds intramolecularly in a 1, 4-fashion to the iminium ion and hydrolysis leads to the chiral aza-Diels–Alder adduct.Comment: One-pot reactions are ideal for forming diverse structures with ease. This paper provides a three-component reaction in which variation of amine, aldehyde and enone could provide various enantioenriched products. This report should expand the already large and important field of aza-Diels–Alder reactions to form nitrogen-containing compounds. Similar organocatalytic reactions using nitrosobenzene following the same mechanism were reported, but were termed tandem O-nitroso aldol/Michael reaction (Y. Yamamoto, N.
