For the last few decades, organocatalysis has received much attention. Recently, the intrinsic chirality of carbohydrates has been used to develop new versatile catalysts 1,2,3 in aldol, Mannich reaction,...
Those catalysts mainly present an (di)amino and a carboxylic group and can be associated to a thiourea spacer following the reaction.
Here, we report the synthesis of new glycosyl-α-aminotetrazole and their investigation as organocatalysts in aldol and (one-pot) Michael addition in heterogenous conditions using supported enzyme CAL-B.
