A proline based metal free organocatalysts developed by new approach for the synthesis of epoxide derivatives through domino reaction. This domino reaction allows the direct access to epoxide from various alkene and aldehyde through C–H functionalization and C–C/C–O bond formation. The catalytic efficiencies of organocatalysts were also determined by domino reaction with very good yield (up to 95 %) and ee's (up to 99 %).
