title: Rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric arylation of N-tosyl ketimines.
abstract: A rhodium-catalyzed addition of sodium tetraarylborates to N-tosyl ketimines is described. Highly efficient asymmetric catalysis has been achieved by employing a chiral diene ligand, constructing chiral amine derivatives possessing α-tetrasubstituted carbon stereocenters with high enantioselectivity.
