Abstract

AbstractWe developed an efficient and enantioselective method for the synthesis of chiral α‐silyl amines. In the presence of a copper(I)‐chiral monodentate N‐heterocyclic carbene complex (5 mol %), smooth nucleophilic silicon transfer from Me2PhSiBpin (pin=pinacolato) to tosyl‐protected aldimines affords the corresponding α‐silyl amines in 77–93 % yields over 15 examples and satisfactory ee of 79–99 %. The asymmetric silylation of ketimines was also explored.
