Abstract: The ability of amino acids and amino acid derivatives to mediate various organocatalytic asymmetric transformations has been investigated and applied in the development of various reactions. This work describes the development of a direct catalytic asymmetric ?-aminomethylation of ketones and aldehydes, a catalytic asymmetric aziridination, hydrophosphination and amination of ?,?-unsaturated aldehydes.
