Novel (4R)-HO-(2S)-Pro-(S)-Val derivative tagged to 1-methylimidazolium cation and PF6– anion efficiently catalyzes asymmetric aldol reactions of cyclic ketones with aromatic aldehydes in aqueous environment to afford the corresponding aldols in high yield with moderate to high anti-diastereo- (dr up to 99 : 1) and enantioselectivity (up to 98% ee). The catalyst was recycled 9 times in the same reaction without any decrease in selectivity values.
