Abstract: Disclosed is a process of carrying out a Michael reaction with recovery of the catalyst, where a compound of formula (1): is reacted with a compound of formula (2): in the presence of a catalyst of formula (4): where the compounds of formulae (1) and (2) undergo a Michael reaction.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process of enantioselectively forming an aminoxy compound of Formula (3) In formula (3) R1 is one of an aliphatic group and an alicyclic group. R2 is one of hydrogen, an aliphatic group, an alicyclic group, an aromatic group, an arylaliphatic group and an arylalicyclic group. R3 is one of hydrogen, halogen, hydroxyl, and an aliphatic group with a main chain having 1 to about 10 carbon atoms. The respective aliphatic, alicyclic, aromatic, arylaliphatic or arylalicyclic groups of R1, R2, and R3 comprise 0 to about 3 heteroatoms independently selected from the group consisting of N, O, S, Se and Si. The process includes contacting a carbonyl compound of Formula (1) and a nitroso compound of Formula (2) in the presence of a chiral catalyst.

Abstract: Nine efficient aldolase antibodies were generated using hapten 2. This hapten combines, in a single molecule, structural components employed for reactive immunization with structural components employed for forming a transition state analog of the aldol reaction. Characterization of two of these antibodies reveals that they are highly proficient (up to 1000-fold better than any other antibody catalyst) and enantioselective catalysts for aldol and retro-aldol reactions and exhibit enantio- and diastereo-selectivities opposite that of antibody 38C2.

Abstract: Catalytic antibodies, including 38C2 and 33F12, are capable of efficiently catalyzing a wide variety of ketone-ketone, ketone-aldehyde, aldehyde-ketone, and aldehyde-aldehyde intermolecular aldol reactions, and in some cases to catalyze their subsequent dehydration to yield aldol condensation products. A number of intramolecular aldol reactions have also been defined. Catalysis of all intramolecular aldol reactions examined yields the corresponding condensation products.
