Double‐cross : Proline catalyzes the double Mannich reaction of acetaldehyde with N ‐Boc imines in excellent yields (up to 99 %; Boc= tert ‐butoxycarbonyl) and close to perfect diastereo‐ and enantioselectivities. Depending on the choice of catalysts, both the chiral, pseudo‐ C 2 ‐symmetric diastereomer and the corresponding meso compound can be prepared. Cross double Mannich reactions of acetaldehyde with two different imines are also demonstrated.
