To begin with, we have considered a variety of different organocatalytic systems, many of which have been referred to in the previous paragraph, and determined the stabilization that was gained by the complexation of both the electrophile and the nucleophile to the sandwiched additive, through hydrogen bonding and π•••π stacking interactions. Such stabilization was seen to be quite significant in most of the cases considered, indicating a general phenomenon when the aromatic additive is employed in such systems. This further hinted at a broader role of the additive, implying that such a stable configuration would then lead to increased enantioselectivity of the desired product. That this was the case was then proved for two different organocatalytic systems: the BZCPD cinchona alkaloid catalyst, employing the 2-naphthol additive for the alpha thiocyanation of oxindole, as well as for the asymmetric nitroaldol reaction of α-ketophosphonates using phenol,4-nitrophenol, 2,4-nitrophenol, and 2,4,6-trinitrophenol as the additives.
