NiH-catalyzed asymmetric hydroarylation of N-acyl enamines to chiral benzylamines

Chiral benzylamines are found in many pharmacologically active molecules. Here, the authors report an enantio- and regio-selective reductive hydroarylation of N-acyl enamines with a NiH/chiral bis-imidazoline catalytic system affording a range of enantioenriched benzylamines.
