New pyrrolidine-based organocatalysts with a bulky substituent at C2 were synthesized from chiral imines derived from (<i>R</i>)-glyceraldehyde acetonide by diastereoselective allylation followed by a sequential hydrozirconation/iodination reaction. The new compounds were found to be effective organocatalysts for the Michael addition of aldehydes to nitroolefins and enantioselectivities up to 85% ee were achieved. ...[more]
