1. a) The intent of this essay is not to provide an up-to-date survey of the field but rather to provide historical context to the development of enamine/iminium ion based organocatalysis and a perspective regarding its potential importance beyond synthetic organic chemistry. It should be noted that the roots of organocatalysis run as deep as organic chemistry itself (J. von Liebig, Justus Liebigs Ann. Chem. 1860, 113, 246)

53. Prior to their realization using organocatalysis, Mannich, Diels-Alder, and other Michael-type reactions were first studied using aldolase antibodies in the late 1990s. We suspected that the constraints of the aldolase antibody's active site prevented catalysis of these reactions.
