Enantioselective Copper-Catalyzed Hydroamination of Vinylarenes with Anthranils

Copper hydride-catalyzed asymmetric hydroamination of olefins with anthranils has been realized in high efficiency and high enantioselectivity, affording enantioenriched secondary arylamines tethered to a benzylic alcohol. The bifunctionality of the product has been employed in diverse derivatization reactions.
