catalyst for enantioselective aminations of silyl enol ethers derived from acyclic ketones or alpha,beta-enones with [N-(2-nitrophenylsulfonyl)imino]phenyliodinane (NsN=IPh), providing N-(2-nitrophenylsulfonyl)-alpha-amino ketones in high yields and with enantioselectivities of up to 95% ee. The effectiveness of the present catalytic protocol has been demonstrated by an asymmetric formal synthesis of (-)-metazocine
copolymerization of a dirhodium(II) complex-containing monomer with styrene and 1,6-bis(4-vinylbenzyloxy)hexane as a flexible cross-linker. The polymer-supported chiral fluorinated dirhodium(II) complex catalyzed the amination of silylenolethers with [N-(2-nitrophenylsulfonyl)imino]phenyliodinane (NsNIPh) to provide α-amino ketones in high yields with high levels of enantioselectivity and could be used
