Abstract
Recently in Science, Zhao and co-workers reported a novel organocatalytic asymmetric Mannich reaction by introducing chiral aldehydes as the catalysts. The key to success was the design of the N-quaternized pyridoxal-type catalysts, which allowed the umpolung of the classical electrophilic reactivity in the α-position of amines.
