The whole pybox and dice: Highly enantioselective amination reactions of both allylic and benzylic C-H bonds are catalyzed by cationic ruthenium(II)-pybox complexes (see structure). A novel mode of stereocontrol, which is induced by the versatile pybox ligand, is proposed to account for the excellent enantioselectivity in these reactions. Boc = tert-butoxycarbonyl, pybox = pyridine bisoxazoline. (Chemical Equation Presented)
