• 60. However, the reaction suffered from very poor yields (15–21%). The reaction is thought to proceed through the condensation of aldehyde 60 and prolinol 61 to give a chiral iminium-ion intermediate. This intermediate then undergoes a domino reaction involving a Michael reaction with salicylaldehyde
