In organic media most of the catalysts showed high activity and enantioselectivities comparable to that accessible with L-proline that is among the best catalysts in the reaction. The catalysts showed good activity under aqueous conditions as well; however, only low enantioselectivities were obtained in this case, primarily due to the racemisation of the product under the reaction conditions. Thus, the attempted achiral acid/base additive-driven stereocontrol was not feasible on a practical level.
