Abstract
An asymmetric reductive amination of ketones using both arylamines and benzhydrazide in the presence of nickel catalysts was developed. A one-pot synthesis of tetrahydroquinoxalines was also developed starting directly from α-ketoaldehydes and 1,2-diaminobenzene. Formic acid was used as a safe and economic surrogate for high-pressure hydrogen gas. Strongly σ-donating bis(alkylphosphine)s are crucial ancillary ligands for both stereoselective hydride insertion and decarboxylation of the formate.
