Abstract
The noncovalent combination of a supramolecular host with iminium organocatalysis is described. Due to cation-π interactions the reactive iminium species is held inside the host and reacts in this confined environment. The products formed differ up to 92 % ee from the control experiments without added host. A model rationalizing the observed difference is presented.Keywords: enantioselectivity; host-guest systems; iminium catalysis; organocatalysis; supramolecular chemistry
