| Abstract: | We describe herein an unprecedented asymmetric α‐amination of β‐ketocarbonyls under aerobic conditions. The process is enabled by a simple chiral primary amine through the coupling of a catalytic enamine ester intermediate and a nitrosocarbonyl (generated in situ) derived from N‐hydroxycarbamate. The reaction features high chemoselectivity and excellent enantioselectivity for a broad range of substrates. |
