Significance

The authors report the asymmetric addition of arylaldehyde N,N-dialkylhydrazones 1 to N-Boc imines 2 catalyzed by axially chiral dicarboxylic acid 3. α-Amino hydrazones 4 are obtained in moderate to good yields (35-77%), but very high enantiomeric ratios (er = 94.5:5.5 up to 97.5:2.5). Furthermore, the transformation into the corresponding α-amino ketones 5 by ozonolysis without loss of enantioselectivity is exemplified.
