Key words

phosphoric acid - kinetic resolution - amines - asymmetric catalysis - condensation

Significance

The List group reports a kinetic resolution of primary amines by selective condensation with a 1,3-diketone. The reaction is catalyzed by a chiral BINOL-derived phosphoric acid. The method is applicable to both benzylamine derivatives and aliphatic substrates.

Comment

The authors demonstrated an acid-catalyzed enantioselective carbonyl–amine condensation through a kinetic resolution of primary amines. There is great potential of the observed reactivity in many other transformations.
