Step-efficient access to chiral primary amines
Nugent, Thomas C.,Marinova, Sofiya M.
, p. 153 - 166 (2013/02/25)
Routes to enantioenriched amines are outlined that employ reductive amination and carbanion addition methods. The strategies require either one or two reaction steps from prochiral carbonyl compounds for the synthesis of the corresponding chiral primary amines. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart New York.

Difficult-to-access chiral primary amines were formed in good to high yield and ee using a rare example of a one-pot synthesis from prochiral ketones (sequential reductive amination-hydrogenloysis). As a highlight we also demonstrate a one-pot reductive amination-hydrogenolysis-reductive amination (five reactions) of ortho-methoxyacetophenone resulting in the chiral diamine 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)ethyl-(2-pyridylmethyl)-amine (4) (58% overall yield, >99% ee), a new organocatalyst for aqueous enantioselective aldol reactions.

Ytterbium acetate promoted asymmetric reductive amination: Significantly enhanced stereoselectivity
Nugent, Thomas C.,El-Shazly, Mohamed,Wakchaure, Vijay N.
, p. 1297 - 1305 (2008/09/17)
(Chemical Equation Presented) Reductive amination of prochiral unhindered 2-alkanones 1 with (R)- or (S)-α-MBA in the presence of Yb(OAc) 3 (50-110 mol %), Raney-Ni, and hydrogen (120 psi) results in increased diastereoselectivity for the amine products 2 (80-89% de) with good yield (80-87%). The increased de is based on comparison with the best previously reported de's when using (R)- or (S)-α-MBA, regardless of the strategy employed [stepwise (isolation of ketimines) or one-pot (reductive amination)], reducing agent examined, or achiral Lewis acid or Bronsted acid examined. An in situ cis- to trans-ketimine isomerization mechanism, promoted by Yb(OAc)3, has been proposed to account for the observed increase in diastereoselectivity and suggests a new entry into the control of ketimine geometry.
A Dramatic Effect of Aryloxo Ligands on the Titanium-Catalyzed Hydroamination of Alkynes
Khedkar, Vivek,Tillack, Annegret,Beller, Matthias
, p. 4767 - 4770 (2007/10/03)
(Equation Presented) The aryloxotitanium complex 1 is a highly chemo- and regioselective catalyst for intermolecular hydroamination of terminal alkynes. Branched imines are obtained in good to excellent yield (up to 99%) with various primary aromatic and aliphatic amines.
