here a palladium(II)-catalyzed oxidative cyclization reaction of N-allylimines derived from methyl ketones, typically acetophenones, affording pyrrole derivatives at room temperature under oxygen atmosphere. The reaction likely proceeds through α-palladation of the imine followed by olefin migratory insertion and β-hydride elimination, thus representing a new example of aerobicdehydrogenative Heck cyclization

A chiral disulfonimide (DSI)‐catalyzedasymmetric reduction of N‐alkyl imines with Hantzsch esters as a hydrogen source in the presence of Boc2O has been developed. The reaction delivers Boc‐protectedN‐alkyl amines with excellent yields and enantioselectivity. The method tolerates a large variety of alkyl amines, thus illustrating potential for a general reductive cross‐coupling of ketones with diverse
