Significance
Expanding upon their previous work on enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of α-substituted cyclic ketimines via dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) (Adv. Synth. Catal. 2005, 347, 591) the authors report the highly diastereo- and enantioselective reduction of α-substituted ketones to afford cis-cycloalkanols. These products can then be transformed to the corresponding trans-cycloalkyl amines through Mitsunobu reaction followed by reduction of the azide with PPh3 or LiAlH4.
