Enantiomerically enriched allylic amines are frequently used as synthetic intermediates, auxiliaries, and resolving agents in the synthesis of both natural and nonnatural compounds.[1] Herein we report the first highly enantioselective catalytic synthesis of allylic amines from alkynes, imines, and organoboranes. Catalyzed by a complex derived from [Ni (cod) 2] and a P-chiral ferrocenyl phosphane, this three-component process provides enantiomerically enriched, tetrasubstituted allylic amines in a single operation. A (tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy) ethyl (TBSOCH2CH2) group on the imine nitrogen not only maximizes reactivity and selectivity in these transformations, but also is easily removed after the coupling reaction, thus providing direct access to versatile primary allylic amines that can be recrystallized to optical purity.[2] Several catalytic asymmetric syntheses of allylic alcohols from alkynes and aldehydes in high enantioselectivities have been reported,[3] but comparable success has not been achieved for the corresponding synthesis of allylic amines from imines.[4, 5] Buchwald and co-workers have reported that stoichiometric reactions of chiral ansa-zirconocene imine complexes and alkynes provide trisubstituted allylic amines in high enantiomeric excess.[6] Bisoxazolines and (À)-sparteine promote enantioselective additions of organolithium reagents to imines (69–91% ee); however, reactions catalytic in the ligand result in lower selectivity (51–82% ee).[7] A complementary strategy was recently reported by Hayashi and Ishigedani involving the rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric addition of aryl stannanes to α, β-unsaturated imines.[8] We recently reported a nickel-catalyzed three-component coupling reaction of alkynes, imines, and organoboron reagents (boronic acids and organoboranes), which affords
