A new class of organocatalysts is reported that incorporates an N-sulfinyl amide in place of the carboxylic acid of praline to serve as a hydrogen bond donor, chiral directing group, and solubilizing element. The successful application of this type of catalyst to the asymmetric aldol reaction of acetone and aryl aldehydes, for which praline performs poorly, is also described. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
