Abstract

Catalytic transformations of α-amino C-H bonds to afford valuable enantiomerically enriched α-substituted amines, entities that are prevalent in pharmaceuticals and bioactive natural products, have been developed. Typically, such processes are carried out under oxidative conditions and require precious metal-based catalysts. Here, we disclose a strategy for an enantioselective union of N-alkylamines and α,β-unsaturated compounds, performed under redox-neutral conditions, and promoted through concerted action of seemingly competitive Lewis acids, B(C
