Difficult-to-access chiralprimaryamines were formed in good to high yield and ee using a rare example of a one-potsynthesis from prochiral ketones (sequentialreductive amination-hydrogenloysis). As a highlight we also demonstrate a one-potreductive amination-hydrogenolysis-reductive amination (five reactions) of ortho-methoxyacetophenone resulting in the chiral diamine 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)ethy

[reaction: see text] A comparative kineticstudy of seven ligands is presented which clearly shows that a slight difference in the substitution pattern of the aryl group on the amine moiety of the ligand dramatically alters the activity of the resulting iridium catalyst. Ligand L6 shows the most impressive kinetics as well as the highest enantioselectivities.

trifluoride reagents with the iminesderivedfrom (S)-1-phenylethylamine afforded the secondary amines by addition to the Si face of the imines. (S,S)-bis(1-phenylethyl)amine and (S)-1-cyclohexylethanamine were prepared with high stereoselectivity, in the latter case by a two step sequence involving the final cleavage of the auxiliary. Methyllithium attacked mainly the Si face of the iminesderivedfrom 4-pyridine
Routes to enantioenriched amines are outlined that employ reductive amination and carbanion addition methods. The strategies require either one or two reaction steps from prochiral carbonyl compounds for the synthesis of the corresponding chiral primary amines.
Highly Diastereoselective Hydrogenation of Imines by a Bimetallic Pd−Cu Heterogeneous Catalyst
An efficient and practical heterogeneous bimetallic Pd-Cu/C catalyst was identified as an alternative to Raney nickel for the highly diastereoselective hydrogenation of imines prepared from prochiral ketones and alpha-phenylethylamines. Chiral amines were obtained with diastereomeric excess (de) up to 94% using Pd-Cu/C, while conventional Pd-C catalysts afforded only 72% de. Optimization showed that a robust process required a palladium/copper ratio of 4:1. Evidence for the influence of catalyst pretreatment which may change the structure of the catalyst and/or metal oxidation states on the selectivity of the reaction is discussed. The bimetallic catalyst system provided consistent results on scale and performed reliably on a variety of substrates.
