Abstract

Using an iridium catalyst modified by (R)-Cl,MeO-BIPHEP, the hydrogenating of alkynes in the presence of N-arylsulfonyl imines delivers the corresponding allylic amines in highly optically enriched form. This protocol circumvents the use of preformed vinyl metal reagents and is applicable to aromatic, heteroaromatic, and aliphatic N-arylsulfonyl aldimines.
