We introduce a new strategy for synthesis of chiral amines: couplings of α-aminoalkyl nucleophiles generated by enantioselective migratory insertion of 2-azadienes to a Cu-H. In this report, we demonstrate its application in catalytic reductive coupling of 2-azadienes and ketones to furnish 1,2-amino tertiary alcohols with vicinal stereogenic centers.
通过对 2-氮杂二烯的对映选择性迁移插入生成的α-氨基烷基亲核试剂与 Cu-H 的偶联。在本报告中,我们证明了其在手性 2-氮杂二烯和酮的催化还原偶联中的应用,以提供具有相邻立体中心的 1,2-氨基叔醇。
