Abstract
Abstractα‐Arylethanamines were investigated as organocatalysts for the α‐amination of branched aldehydes with azodicarboxylates. Optimization identified (R)‐1‐(1‐naphthyl)ethanamine (1g) as an effective and enantioselective organocatalyst; multifunctional chiral quaternary amino aldehydes were successfully obtained in excellent yields (up to 99 %) and with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98 % ee).
