These catalysts showed good solubility in organic solvents, good yields （73%--97%） and enantioselectivitives（74%--94%）. Among them, dipeptide organocatalyst（2） was found to be the most efficient one for the asymmetric aldol reaction between cyclohexanone and 4-nitrobeznaldehyde. After optimizing the catalytic reaction conditions, we found that the catalyst showed high yield（97%）, enantioselectivity（e.e., up to 92%） and anti-diastcreoselectivity（up to 95：5） at mild room temperature without any additives.展开更多
