Method describes asymmetric reaction of triethyl phosphites and 2-arylidenemalononitrile catalysed by the chiral organocatalyst in solvent ethanol. The organocatalyst effectively catalyse reaction to give β-malonophosphonates in high yields (85–64%) and good to moderate enantiomeric excess (78–53%).

This present method deals with an exceedingly rare aspect of α-aminophosphonate synthesis. We studied an enantioseletive one-pot synthetic method for the syntheses of optically active α-aminophosphonates by employing an organocatalyst. Some new organocatalysts were synthesized and studied for their reactivity and enantioselectivity. The organocatalyst effectively catalyzed the reaction and provided the corresponding α-aminophosphonates in high yields (71–90 %) with excellent enantiomeric excess values (73–92 %).

Using hydrogen bond based concept we have synthesized new organocatalysts and have applied them to catalyze direct asymmetric aldol reaction. Reaction proceeded efficiently and gave high yield with excellent diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity.

A convenient protocol has been developed for the synthesis of Baylis–Hillman adducts in the presence of a base and an organocatalyst. We have designed and synthesized organocatalysts based on hydrogen bonding using a pyrrolidine ring as the backbone and applied them to Baylis–Hillman transformations. This method provides products in good to high yields (73–90%) and with excellent enantiomeric excesses (up to 96%) and reasonable reaction times.

A series of new organocatalysts is designed based on hydrogen bonding motifs and applied to the title reaction.

PTF is found to be the catalyst of choice for the direct asymmetric aldol reaction of cyclohexanone with aromatic aldehydes to yield the adducts with (nearly) complete diastereoselectivity and good enantioselectivity under optimized conditions.
