The development of catalysts for Mannich-type reactions that affordanti-products with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities under mild conditions and low catalyst loadings (1−5 mol %) is reported. Based on principles gained from the study of (S)-proline-catalyzed Mannich-type reactions that afford enantiomerically enrichedsyn-products, (3R,5R)-5-methyl-3-pyrrolidinecarboxylic acid (RR35) has been designed to catalyze the direct enantioselectiveanti-selective Mannich-type reactions. Computational studies of the above reaction using HF/6-31G* level of theory suggested that this design would be highly effective. The catalyst was subsequently synthesized and studied in organocatalytic Mannich-type reactions between unmodified aldehydes andN-PMP-protected α-imino esters. In accord with the design principles and in quantitative agreement with the theoretical predictions, reactions catalyzed by this catalyst affordedanti-products in good yields with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities (anti:syn94:6 to 98:2, >97 to >99% ee).
