Chiral L-prolinamides 2 containing the (R,R)- and (S,S)-trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine scaffold and a 2-pyrimidinyl unit are synthesized and used as general organocatalysts for intermolecular and intramolecular aldol reactions with 1,6-hexanedioic acid as a co-catalyst under solvent-free conditions. The intermolecular reaction between ketone-aldehyde and aldehyde-aldehyde must be performed under wet conditions with catalyst (S,S)-2b at 10 °C, which affords anti-aldols with high regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivities. For the Hajos-Parrish-Eder-Sauer-Wiechert reaction, both diastereomers of catalyst 2 give similar results at room temperature in the absence of water to give the corresponding Wieland-Miescher ketone and derivatives. Both types of reactions were scaled up to 1 g, and the organocatalysts were recovered by extractive workup and reused without any appreciable loss in activity. DFT calculations support the stereochemical results of the intermolecular process and the bifunctional role played by the organocatalyst by providing a computational comparison of the H-bonding networks occurring with catalysts 2a and 2b. The intermolecular ketone-aldehyde and aldehyde-aldehyde aldol reactions and the Hajos-Parrish-Eder-Sauer-Wiechert versions with the employment of chiral L-prolinamides containing the (R,R)- and (S,S)-trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine scaffold and a 2-pyrimidinyl unit are successfully performed under solvent-free conditions; WMK = Wieland-Miescher ketone.

The immobilization of N-sulfonyl-(Ra)-binam-d-prolinamide using polystyrene as a support allows the recovery of an efficient catalytic system for the enantioselective direct aldol reaction between different ketones and aldehydes under solvent-f
