Abstract
Disclosed is a process for the enantioselective production of an optically active amino compound by the amination of the C—H bond of an organic compound. The amino compound is produced by converting the C—H bond at the allyl position of an alkene or the C—H bond at the benzyl position of an alkylarene to the corresponding C—N bond, using a salen-manganese complex as the catalyst and N-substituted iminoaryliodinane as the amination agent. Both the catalytic activity and the enantioselectivity are very high when there is used a catalyst in which the 3- and 5-positions of the salicylaldehyde moiety of the salen ligand are substituted with an electron-withdrawing group, particularly with a halogen atom.
