Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) A condensation-rearrangement sequence forms the basis of a high-yielding route to chiral homoallylic amines from readily accessible aldehydes (see scheme). This transformation is both the first enantioselective Brønsted acid catalyzed sigmatropic rearrangement and the first example of a catalytic asymmetric aza-Cope rearrangement.
