The secondary amine participating asymmetric reductive amination remains an unsolved problem in organic synthesis. Here we show for the first time that secondary amines are capable of effectively serving as N-sources in direct asymmetric reductive amination to afford corresponding tertiary chiral amines with the help of a selected additive set under mild conditions (0-25 °C). The applied chiral phosphoramidite ligands are readily prepared from BINOL and easily modified. Compared with common tert ...[more]
