Introduction

Last decade witnessed an explosive growth in asymmetric organocatalysis. A large number of organocatalysts have been developed by different research groups. (S)-(+)-1-(2-Pyrrolidinylmethyl)pyrrolidine (CAS: 51207-66-0) is a versatile organocatalyst, which is commercially available or can be easily prepared from commercially available Cbz-(l)-proline (Scheme  [¹] ). [¹] It is known to catalyze many organic reactions, for example, the asymmetric ­aldol reaction, [²] [³] Michael reaction, [4-7] Mannich reaction, [8] and the domino reaction. [9] It is also used as a chiral ligand/additive in metal-mediated stereoselective organic syntheses. [¹0] [¹¹]
