Abstract
A 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL)-derived disulfonimide (DSI)-catalyzed enantioselective aza-Friedel-Crafts reaction between 1,3,5-trialkoxy benzenes and N-sulfonyl aldimines gives direct access to a series of chiral diarylmethylamines in good yields and good to excellent enantioselectivities (up to 97% ee). This reaction provides a useful protocol for the direct synthesis of diarylmethylamine derivatives.
