Amino Acylguanidines as Bioinspired Catalysts for the Asymmetric Aldol Reaction

The binding and stabilizing effect of arginine residues in certain aldolases served as inspiring source for the development of a family of amino acylguanidine organocatalysts. Screening and optimization led to identify the threonine derivative as the most suitable catalyst for the asymmetric aldol a...
