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.

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
