selectivity: Highly substituted indenylamines can be obtained with high enantioselectivity by formal [3+2] additions of aryl ketimines with internal alkynes. These rhodium(I)‐catalyzed processes proceed by selective CH activation of one of the two arene substituents, regioselective carbometalation of the alkyne, and enantioselective addition across the imine.

Racemization required: Rhodium(I)‐catalyzed CH activation directed by unprotected ketimines initiates selective [3+2] cycloaddition with allenes, providing access to highly substituted indenylamines. The reaction proceeds through the dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation of racemic allenes. The catalyst controls the enantio‐ and diastereoselectivity, the regioselectivities of the CH activation and allene

A direct N-trifluoromethylation method has been developed by the use of the in situ generated [ArICF3](+) species as the electrophilic trifluoromethyl source. Upon treatment of N H ketimines with Ruppert-Prakash reagent in the presence of PhI(OAc)(2) and KF, or with Togni's reagent II catalyzed by copper salt, N-trifluoromethylated imine products were obtained in moderate to good yields.
The direct functionalization of carbon-hydrogen bonds is an emerging tool to establish more sustainable and efficient synthetic methods. We present its implementation in a cascade reaction that provides a rapid assembly of functionalized indanylamines from simple and readily available starting materials. Careful choice of the ancillary ligand - an electron-rich bidentate phosphine ligand - enables highly diastereoselective rhodium(i)-catalyzed intramolecular allylations of unsubstituted ketimines induced by a directed C-H bond activation and allene carbo-metalation sequence.
