Novel bifunctional organocatalysts were prepared from D-isomannide or L-isoidide in three steps. These catalysts were then evaluated in the asymmetric Michael addition of acetone to trans-.-nitrostyrenes. Although moderate enantioselectivities were observed, this study has highlighted that a simple chiral primary diamine can catalyze this reaction. Furthermore, the reaction was also performed with an isomannide-derived diimine which was transformed in situ into the active catalyst under acidic conditions leading to the best enantioselectivity.

A series of hydrogen bonding organocatalysts was synthesized from dianhydrohexitol and was used for the first time in organocatalysis for Friedel-Crafts alkylation of indoles with nitroalkenes. Moderate yields and enantioselectivities were achieved. ARKAT
