An efficient organocatalytic approach to the enantioslective synthesis of two important piperidine alkaloids, namely (+)-alpha-conhydrine (98\% ee) and (-)-sedamine (95\% ee), by L-proline-catalysed alpha-aminooxylation of aldehydes has been developed. The strategy involves an intramolecular cyclization to construct the piperidine core.

A short and efficient enantioselective synthesis of natural product (S)-3-hydroxypiperidine has been achieved starting from commercially available raw materials employing two catalytic routes: (i) cocatalyzed hydrolytic kinetic resolution (HKR) of racemic methyl-3-(oxiran-2-yl)propanoate; (ii) proline-catalyzed -aminooxylation followed by Horner-Wardsworth-Emmons olefination in high enantiomeric purity (97\% ee) and high overall yield (38\%).

An efficient enantioselective formal synthesis of marine macrolide (-)-(6R,11R,14R)-colletallol has been achieved starting from commercially available raw materials. The key reactions include the D-proline catalyzed a-aminooxylation of aldehyde followed by Horner-Wardsworth-Emmons olefination in a sequential fashion to give the macrolide key intermediate 5 in high enantiomeric purity (97\% ee) and high overall yield (32\%).

An efficient {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}one-pot{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} synthetic method toward highly substituted tetrahydrofuran (THP) units is reported. The key transformation involves an atom-efficient sequential proline catalyzed alpha-amination of aldehydes to give alpha-aminated aldehydes in situ and the subsequent cyclomerization with homoallylic alcohols under Prins/Ritter conditions. Notably, this method provides access to enantiopure 1,2-syn and 1,4-anti diamino alcohols via reductive ring opening of THP units.
