A highly efficient catalytic system composed of a simple and commercially available chiral primary diamine（1R,2R）-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine（6） and trifluoroacetic acid（TFA） was employed for asymmetric Aldol reaction in i-PrOH at room temperature.A loading of 10%（molar fraction） catalyst 6 with TFA as a cocatalyst could catalyze the Aldol reactions of various ketones or aldehydes with a series of aromatic aldehydes,furnishing Aldol products in moderate to high yields（up to 99%） with enantioselectivities of up to 99% and diastereoselectivities of up to 99：1.
C2-Symmetric pyrrolidine-based tetraamine, available from commercially starting materials, showed good cata- lytic activity for asymmetric Michael additions of ketones to nitroalkenes especially to chalcones. The reactions proceeded to give the corresponding products in good yields and in a highly selective manner.
