Catalytic asymmetric reductive hydroalkylation of enamides and enecarbamates to chiral aliphatic amines

Enantiopure aliphatic amines are frequently encountered as chiral auxiliaries and synthetic intermediates for bioactive compounds. Here, the authors report a mild nickel-catalysed asymmetric reductive hydroalkylation to convert enamides and enecarbamates into α-branched chiral amines and derivatives...
