Abstract

The first asymmetric reduction of ketimines with catecholborane employing an enantiopure N-triflyl phosphoramide as the organocatalyst has been developed. Five mole% of the catalyst provides the corresponding secondary amines in very good to almost quantitative yields and good enantioselectivities up to 86: 14 er under mild reaction conditions.
