Chiral α-branched amines are common structural motifs in functional materials, pharmaceuticals, and chiral catalysts. Therefore, developing efficient methods for preparing compounds with these privileged scaffolds is an important endeavor in synthetic chemistry. Herein, we describe an atom-economical, modular method for a nickel-catalyzed enantioselective α-Alkenylation of readily available linear N-sulfonyl amines with alkynes to afford a wide variety of allylic amines without the need for exogenous oxidants, reductants, or activating reagents. The method provides a platform for constructing chiral α-branched amines as well as derivatives such as α-Amino amides and β-Amino alcohols, which can be conveniently accessed from the newly introduced alkene. Given the generality, versatility, and high atom economy of this method, we anticipate that it will have broad synthetic utility.

The chiral vinyllithium reagent (S)-1b, readily generated from dibromoalkene (S)-1a by bromine/lithium exchange, adds stereoselectively to mesitylsulfonylimines 2a-f so that the diastereomers 3 are obtained in ≥98% d.e. after column chromatography. The bromoalkenes 3a-d are submitted to ozonolysis in methanol to give α-mesitylsulfonylamino esters (S)-8a-d which can be hydrolyzed to deliver N-protected α- amino acids in >95% e.e. On the other hand, α-mesitylsulfonylamino aldehydes 12a-d are available when bromoalkenes 3a, d-f are first debrominated (→ 11a-d) and subsequently ozonized. In order to avoid reacemization, the aldehydes 12a-d are not purified but submitted to a Mukaiyama-type aldol addition whereby hydroxyesters 15a-d are formed as single diastereomers in a chelate-controlled reaction. The relative configuration of the esters 15a-d is proven by conversion into the oxazolidinones 16a-d whose optical purity is determined to exceed 92% e.e. by 1H-NMR measurements in the presence of chiral shift reagents. The sulfonylimine 21a and a series of para-substituted derivatives 21b-h are also allowed to react with the vinyllithium reagent 1b to give mixtures of diastereomers 22/23. The logarithms of the diastereomeric ratios 22:23 correlate with Hammett's σ-values. VCH Verlagsgesellschaft mbH, 1997.
