     “Diversity-Oriented Synthesis towards Conceptually New Highly Modular Aminal-Pyrrolidine Organocatalysts”
     Chem. Eur. J. 2008, 14, 7504-7507.

New family member: A conceptually new family of modular aminal-pyrrolidine organocatalysts was prepared by diversity-oriented synthesis. The catalytic properties of these organocatalysts could easily be tuned by varying the different substituents on the aminal part. Good yields and enantioselectivities up to 91 % were obtained in Michael additions to nitroolefins or vinyl sulfones.
