The first asymmetric iridium-catalyzed C−C bond forming hydrogenation is described. By simply hydrogenating alkynes in the presence of N-arylsulfonyl imines using an iridium catalyst modified by (R)-Cl,MeO-BIPHEP, one may obtain the corresponding allylic amines 1b−21b in highly optically enriched form (92−99% ee). This protocol circumvents the use of preformed vinyl metal reagents and is applicable
