Abstract
Easily accessible chiral sulfinamide 2 has been developed as the first highly efficient and enantioselective organocatalyst relying solely on a chiral sulfur center for stereochemical induction. In the presence of 20 mol % of 2, a broad range of N-aryl ketimines 1 were reduced by trichlorosilane to produce amines 3 in high yield and enantioselectivity. [reaction: see text]
