Abstract
Scandium(III) triflate catalyzes a direct synthesis of N-unprotected ketimines from ketones in high yields with broad functional group tolerance, even in multigram scales. The reactions were readily applicable for one-pot synthesis of important compounds without isolation of the N-unprotected ketimine intermediates.
