A catalytic version of the Rabe electrophilic amination is presented. This kind of reaction was originally employed in 1918 in a key step for the conversion of quinotoxine to quinine. Ketones and α-substituted aldehydes give the corresponding α-aminated carbonyl compounds in moderate yield. α,α-Unsubstituted aldehydes give rise to amino ketones via a novel rearrangement.
