Chiral vicinal diamines, including 2-aminomethyl indolines and pyrrolidines, are useful as ligands for catalytic asymmetric reactions and are also found as important components of bioactive compounds. Herein is reported the first copper-catalyzed alkene diamination that occurs with high enantioselectivity. The substrate range is the broadest yet reported for this kind of intra-/intermolecular reaction sequence both with respect to γ-alkenyl sulfonamide substrate and external amine nucleophile.
