CÀN bonds appear in the frameworks of various natural products, and their stereoselective formation is an important objective in organic synthesis. With the benefit of asymmetric nitrene-transfer catalysis by transition metal complexes,[1] remarkable advancements have been made in stereoselective CÀN bond formation, and many highly enantioselective methods have been reported.[2–4] However, these reactions use low-atom-efficient nitrene precursors such as N-tosyliminophenyliodinane or in situ prepared equivalents. Thus, CÀH amination using atom-efficient azides, especially ones bearing a readily removable N-protecting group, as nitrene precursors have attracted a growing interest.[5] Although efficient methods for CÀH amination using azides have been recently reported, they are not enantioselective,[6–8] and enantiocontrol in CÀH amination using an azide is still a great challenge. We recently found that intramolecular benzylic CÀH amination could be implemented with high enantioselectivity using iridium–salen complex 1 as the catalyst,[9] and further explored an intermolecular version of CÀH amination with complex 1 at room temperature. However, the amination of indane was slow and the enantioselectivity was poor (Scheme 1).
