One-pot five-component reactions of oxathiazolidine-S-oxides with mesitylmagnesiumbromide, lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide, aldehydes and Grignard reagents afford chiral nonracemic amines or sulfinamides in good yields and high stereoselectivities.
A highly enantioselective intermolecular benzylic C(sp3)−H bond amination by using a chiral cationic copper catalyst and oxidant di-tert-butyl peroxide is reported. This mild, straightforward method can be used to transform an array of feedstock alkylarenes and amides into chiral amines with high enantioselectivities, and it has good functional group tolerance and a broad substrate scope.

A new concept for asymmetric nucleophilic catalysis is presented. Acyl pyridinium salts derived from 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP) and benzoic anhydride are rendered chiral via interaction with a chiral thiourea anion receptor. The power of this concept is demonstrated in the context of kinetic amine resolution.
