The multicomponent synthesis of diarylmethylamines, 1,2-diarylethylamines and beta-arylethylamines has been undergone starting from aryl- or benzylzinc reagents, aldehydes, and primary or secondary chiral amines. Good to high diastereoselectivities have been obtained from both L-proline ester derivatives 1 and (+/-)-trans-1-allyl-2,5-dimethylpiperazine (4). The use of R-(+)-1-phenylethylamine (7) provides important diastereoisomeric excesses (similar to 60%) in conjunction with very high chemical yields. This work constitutes a preliminary entry to the intended development of a more flexible reaction system, involving easily cleavable chiral amines. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

reductive coupling reaction of Grignard reagents and tertiary amides affording functionalised tertiary amine products via an efficient and technically-simple one-pot, two-stage experimental protocol, is reported. The reaction – which can be carried out on gram-scale using as little as 1 mol% Vaska's complex [IrCl(CO)(PPh3)2] and TMDS as the terminal reductant for the initial reductive activation step –
