Enantioselective Intramolecular Alkene Hydroaminations Catalyzed by Yttrium Complexes of Axially Chiral Bis(thiolate) Ligands

Abstract

[structure: see text] A yttrium(III) complex derived from proligand 7c has been shown to be a superior catalyst for enantioselective intramolecular alkene hydroaminations that provide cyclic amines with ee's ranging from 69% to 89%.
