Deskripsi

Biologically active compounds often contain a chiral centre in proximity of amine groups. Here, the authors developed a strategy involving asymmetric isomerization of allylic amines, enamine exchange and chemoselective reduction for the one-pot highly enantioselective synthesis of gamma-branched amines.
