Highly enantio-enriched perfluoroalkyl amines are shown to be synthesized by perfluoroalkylation and asymmetric reduction of nitriles. Perfluoroalkylation of nitriles can be attained by the Lewis acidic perfluoroalkyl titanate reagents to give acyclic ketimines. Catalyticasymmetric hydrogenation of the acyclic ketimines affords the perfluoroalkyl amine products in up to 93% ee.
