Amines bearing γ-stereocenters are highly important structural motifs in many biologically active compounds. However, reported enantioselective syntheses of these molecules are indirect and often require multiple steps. Herein, we report a general asymmetric route for the one-pot synthesis of chiral γ-branched amines through the highly enantioselective isomerization of allylamines, followed by enamine exchange and subsequent chemoselective reduction. This protocol is suitable for establishing va ...[more]
