Rhodium-Catalyzed Asymmetric Intramolecular Hydroamination of Unactivated Alkenes

One for the Rh(oad): The first rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric intramolecular hydroamination of unactivated olefins was developed by using dialkylbiaryl phosphine ligands (see scheme; cod=1,5-cyclooctadiene, Cy=cyclohexyl). A variety of 2-methylpyrrolidines have been synthesized with high enantioselect...
