An intriguing reversal in product enantioselectivity accompanied by a change in the kinetic profile is observed in the alpha-amination of aldehydes catalyzed by proline in the presence of organic bases. Implications for the prevailing stereochemical models for proline and related aminocatalytic transformations are discussed.
