L ‐ t ‐Leucine‐catalyzed direct asymmetric aldol reactions are described. In the aldol reaction of p ‐nitrobenzaldehyde with a cyclic ketone at room temperature, L ‐ t ‐leucine exhibits catalytic activity resulting in moderate to high diastereo‐ and enantioselectivity. Use of cycloheptanone or cyclooctanone as a substrate resulted in production of the syn selective product.
