Popis: | A readily activated iron alkyl precatalyst effectively catalyzes the highly enantioselective hydroboration of N‐alkyl imines. Employing a chiral bis(oxazolinylmethylidene)isoindoline pincer ligand, the asymmetric reduction of various acyclic N‐alkyl imines provided the corresponding α‐chiral amines in excellent yields and with up to >99 % ee. The applicability of this base metal catalytic system was further demonstrated with the synthesis of the pharmaceuticals Fendiline and Tecalcet. Ironing imines: The first iron‐catalyzed asymmetric reduction of N‐alkyl imines is reported. A molecularly defined iron complex catalyzes the highly enantioselective hydroboration of various N‐alkyl imines, providing access to the corresponding α‐chiral amines in high yields and stereoselectivities. The earth‐abundant metal catalyst was applied in the synthesis of the pharmaceuticals Fendiline and Tecalcet. |
