Only recently bifunctional Cinchona-alkaloids derivatives were used, but with important limitations, such as the need to work on aromatic aldehydes

51. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2006, 45, 929-931. Since the standard approach to an asymmetric cascade involves a first highly stereoselective step followed by transformations in which the asymmetric induction originates from the previously formed stereocenters, the scope limitations of the organocatalytic Henry reaction clarify why this transformation has never been used as the first and stereo-determining step in a domino sequence.
