96. Another attempt to perform a Michael/aldol reaction in the presence of an organic molecule was described by Terashima and co-workers, who employed stoichiometric amounts of cinchona alkaloids as promoters for the synthesis of the huperzine A core. However, the domino product was obtained only with a moderate level of selectivity (31-64% ee). See: Kaneko, S.; Yoshino, T.; Katoh, T.; Terashima, S. Tetrahedron 1998, 54, 5471

150. Tan, B.; Chua, P. J.; Li, Y.; Zhong, G. Org. Lett. 2008, 10, 2437 The name (9-amino-9-deoxy- epi -quinine) and the catalyst structure in the original publication do not correspond with each other. This is also true for refs 113 and 133. We have indicated 9-amino-9-deoxy- epi -quinine as the catalyst employed in these transformations
