Abstract
3,3′-Silylated binaphtholate tantalum and niobium complexes were shown to be efficient catalysts for the asymmetric hydroaminoalkylation of N-methylaniline derivatives and N-benzylmethylamine with simple alkenes in enantioselectivities of up to 80% ee. No hydroaminoalkylation was observed with aminoalkenes; rather, exclusive asymmetric hydroamination/cyclization took place in up to 81% ee.
