Significance

Despite the versatility of α-chiral ­allylic amines, synthetic methods to access them have been underdeveloped. The authors reported the first example of the enantioselective inter­molecular hydroamination of mono-substituted ­allenes.

Comment

A variety of substituted anilines, even bearing unprotected alcohol and indole moieties, were employed to give good yields and high enantioselectivities. Further mechanistic study is desirable to explain the regioselectivity of the hydrometalation step.
