This is the first report of a successful asymmetric aldol reaction of acetone and 4-nitrobenzaldehyde catalyzed by only 0.01 mol % of proline tetrazole (5-pyrrolidin-2-yltetrazole). Amazingly, 3 mol % of water as an additive has significantly improved the efficiency of the aldol reaction in terms of yield and enantioselectivity, up to a 0.

5-Pyrrolidin-2-yltetrazole is a versatile organocatalyst for the asymmetric conjugate addition of nitroalkanes to enones. Using this catalyst, this transformation requires short reaction times, tolerates a broad substrate scope, and possibly proceeds via generation of an iminium species.
