Abstract

A new protocol for the synthesis of chiral β-aminotetralins has been developed via chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed asymmetric reductive amination of β-tetralones using a Hantzsch ester as an organic hydride donor. Various chiral β-aminotetralins were obtained in good yields with good to high enantioselectivities. Furthermore, the utility of our new protocol was successfully demonstrated in the enantioselective synthesis of rotigotine. (Figure presented.).
