Exposure of various N-arylsulfonyl aldimines to 2-butyne and hydrogen at ambient pressure in the presence of a cationic iridium(I) catalyst modified by BIPHEP provides reductive coupling products, allylic amines, in good yields as single geometrical isomers. Nonsymmetric alkynes couple under standard conditions with high levels of regioselection.

(S)-3-(N-Isopropyl-N-3-pyridinylaminomethyl)BINOL is an efficient, bifunctional organocatalyst for the enantioselective aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman (aza-MBH) reaction. The acid-base-mediated functionalities for the activation of the substrate and the fixing of conformation of the organocatalyst are harmoniously performed to promote the reaction with high enantiocontrol.
