title: Asymmetric organocatalysis with glycosyl-beta-amino acids: direct asymmetric aldol reaction of acetone with aldehydes.
abstract: Direct asymmetric aldol reaction of acetone with aromatic aldehydes was achieved in good yields and high enantioselectivity using 5-amino-5-deoxy-beta-L-ido-(alpha-D-gluco)-heptofuranuronic acids as a new class of organocatalysts.
