    Abstract

    New trifunctional organocatalysts with a NHTs Brønsted acid were prepared and tested in their ability to promote the counterion catalysis of generic and aza-Morita/Baylis/Hillman reactions.The cooperativity between the counterion and the NHTs Brønsted acid of the trifunctional catalyst was required for good enantioselectivity and rate enhancement.Better enantioselectivity was observed for aza-MBH reactions at relatively low catalyst loading (2-5 mol %) under facile conditions.
