The homogeneously catalyzed reductive amination of aldehydes and ketones under smooth conditions is reported, showing for the first time, that Rh(I) catalysts based on chelating diphosphines and diphosphinites can be advantageously employed for this reaction, even for the production of chiral amino acid derivatives.
