Abstract
In this work, six isosteviolamino acid conjugates were designed and synthesized through simple condensation on a large scale without protecting group (Scheme). These amphiphilic organocatalysts mediated asymmetric three‐component Mannich reactions of cyclohexanone and anilines with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of H~2~O. Meanwhile, the isosteviolproline conjugate 3b has been established as a highly efficient catalyst (Table 1), and afforded syn‐Mannich products with excellent diastereoselectivities (syn/anti up to 98 : 2) and enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee; Table 3). The transition state of the reaction in the presence of H~2~O is proposed (Fig. 2).
