title: Enantioselective palladium-catalyzed arylation of N-tosylarylimines with arylboronic acids using a chiral 2,2'-bipyridine ligand.
abstract: With the aid of an axially chiral 2,2'-bipyridine ligand, we have successfully developed a palladium-catalyzed method for the enantioselective arylation of N-tosylarylimines, furnishing the chiral diarylmethamines with high yields and enantioselectivities under very mild conditions. An exogenous base was avoided and imine hydrolysis was inhibited in this transformation.
