Abstract
N-formyl-α-(p-tolysulfonyl)benzylamines are readily available starting materials which upon deprotonation eliminate the sulfinate group to give an acyl imine. The acyl imines further react with alkylzinc reagents in the presence of catalytic amounts of chiral [2.2]paracyclophane-based N,O-ligands to alkylated N-(1-phenylpropyl)formamides with excellent yields and enantioselectivities.
