Introduction
Pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid commonly known as l-Proline (I) has shown, in recent times, excellent catalytic activity, in catalyzing a wide variety of reactions such as aldol, [1] [2] Mannich, [3-5] [10-12] Michael, [6-9] in a highly enantioselective manner. These reactions have produced a variety of useful chiral materials for organic synthesis.
Most of the l-Proline (I) catalyzed reactions are believed to involve enamine (II) as key intermediate in its catalytic cycle (Scheme [1] ).
