The reactions are rapid and highly stereoselective when water is used as solvent. The stereoselectivities were under influence of configurations of a prolyl residue of the catalyst and ¦Á-chiral aldehydes. Water soluble prolinamido-glycoside catalysts are easily separable from reaction mixture and can be recycled and re-used several times. %K Organocatalyst %K Aldol Reaction %K Carbohydrate %K Water-Compatible %K Prolinamide %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=53042
