A chiral diaryl prolinol silyl ether organocatalyst with an acid is used for the direct catalytic asymmetric Mannich reaction of acetaldehyde and imines. N ‐Benzoyl‐, N‐tert ‐butoxycarbonyl‐, and N ‐toluene‐4‐sulfonylimines can be employed to produce synthetically useful β‐amino aldehydes in good yields and with excellent enantioselectivity (see scheme). The reaction mechanism was investigated quantum‐mechanically.
