Abstract: Chiral norephedrine-based β-amino alcohol bearing a substituted thiophene ring were applied as catalysts for the enantioselective aldol reaction of isatins with ketones. Using enantiomeric chiral amino alcohols, the desired aldol products were obtained in high yields and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 95% ee) under optimized conditions.
