The Mitsunobu reaction of N-ethoxycarbonyl-(4R)-hydroxy-(S)-proline methyl ester with phenol afforded (4S)-phenoxy-(S)-proline methyl ester, which, after saponificationand hydrolysis in hydrochloric acid, gave the title amino acid. This compound (5 mol%) catalyzes aldol reaction of acetone with benzaldehydes enantioselectively in the yields ranging from 67.4% to 89.9%, with the ee up to 76.5%.

Key words: Aldol reaction, catalysis, asymmetric
