Abstract
A nickel-catalyzed hydroalkylation of enecarbamates (N-Cbz-protected enamines) with alkyl halides provides a wide range of chiral alkyl amines with high regio- and enantioselectivity. The mild conditions lead to high functional group tolerance, which is demonstrated in late-stage modifications of many natural products and drug molecules.
