Abstract

The highly regioselective hydrogenolysis of bis (α-methylbenzyl) amine derivatives proceeded with influence not from the electronic effect but from the steric effect of the trifluoromethyl substituent on the aromatic ring to provide a practical asymmetric synthesis of trifluoromethyl-substituted α-phenylethylamines.
