Asymmetricreductive amination of poorly nucleophilic sulfonamides was realized in the presence of nickel catalysts and titanium alkoxide. A wide range of ketones, including enolizable ketones and some biaryl ones, were converted into sulfonamides in excellent enantiomeric excess. The cyclization of sulfamates and intermolecular reductive amination of a diarylphosphinamide were also successful. Formic
The diastereoselectivenucleophilicaddition of alkyllithium to N-alkylidene-alpha-naphthylethylamine was carried out. In the presence of Lewis acids or Lewis bases, organolithiums reacted smoothly with imines to give the corresponding amines in high stereoselectivity (up to 100% de). Furthermore, the resulting opticallyactive amines were found to be useful for asymmetric reactions as chiral ligands
Nickel-Catalyzed Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation and α-Selective Deuteration of <i>N</i>-Sulfonyl Imines with Alcohols: Access to α-Deuterated Chiral Amines
A nickel-catalyzed enantioselective transferhydrogenation and deuteration of N-sulfonyl imines was developed. Excellent α-selectivity and high deuterium content were achieved by using inexpensive 2-propanol-d8 as a deuterium source. As a highlight, no deuteration of β-C–H and the remote C–H of N-sulfonyl amines occurred, which is hard to achieve using other imines or by hydrogen isotope exchange with
