A Nucleophilic Strategy for Enantioselective Intermolecular α‑Amination: Access to Enantioenriched α‑Arylamino Ketones

Abstract

The enantioselective addition of anilines to azoalkenes was accomplished through the use of a chiral phosphoric acid catalyst. The resulting α-arylamino hydrazones were obtained in good yields and excellent enantioselectivities and provide access to enantioenriched α-arylamino ketones. A serendipitous kinetic resolution of racemic α-arylamino hydrazones is also described.
