tert-Butanesulfinamide is prepared using catalytic enantioselective methods in two steps from the extremely inexpensive oil waste by-product, tert-butyl disulfide. Direct condensation of tert-butanesulfinamide with aldehydes and ketones provides tert-butanesulfinyl imines in uniformly high yields. The tert-butanesulfinyl group activates the imines for the addition of many different classes of nucleophiles, serves as a powerful chiral directing group, and after nucleophilic addition is readily cleaved by treatment with acid. A wide range of highly enantioenriched amines, including α-branched and α,α-dibranched amines, α- and β-amino acids, 1,2 and 1,3-amino alcohols and α-trifluoromethyl amines are efficiently synthesized using this methodology.

A Pdᴵᴵ-catalyzed, ligand-enabled gamma-C(sp3)–H arylation of free primary aliphatic amines and amino esters without using an exogenous directing group is reported. This reaction is compatible with unhindered free aliphatic amines, and it is also be applicable to the rapid synthesis of biologically and synthetically valuable unnatural α-amino acids. Large scale synthesis is also feasible using this method.<br>
