In this video I am following a method which uses asymmetric organocatalysis with the catalyst L-Proline. This method (from 2022) is a prime example of how the discovery of organocatalysis in 2000 is still used today and how the 2021 nobel prize shined a light on it. In the procedure, a bicyclic enal is synthesized, which is a key intermediate for the synthesis of several relevant hormones in medicine.
