A novel cationic [IrH(THF)(P,N)(imine)] [BArF] catalyst containing a P-stereogenic MaxPHOX ligand is described for the direct asymmetric hydrogenation of N-methyl and N-alkyl imines. This is the first catalytic system to attain high enantioselectivity (up to 94% ee) in this type of transformation. The labile tetrahydrofuran ligand allows for effective activation and reactivity, even at low temperatures. Density functional theory calculations allowed the rationalization of the stereochemical course of the reaction.

A chiral disulfonimide (DSI)-catalyzed asymmetric reduction of N-alkyl imines with Hantzsch esters as a hydrogen source in the presence of Boc2O has been developed. The reaction delivers Boc-protected N-alkyl amines with excellent yields and enantioselectivity. The method tolerates a large variety of alkyl amines, thus illustrating potential for a general reductive cross-coupling of ketones with diverse amines, and it was applied in the synthesis of the pharmaceuticals (S)-Rivastigmine, NPS R-568 Hydrochloride, and (R)-Fendiline.
