Abstract The kinetic resolution of chiral aminoalkenes by hydroamination–cyclization was studied by using 3, 3′-bis (triarylsilyl)-substituted binaphtholate rare-earth-metal complexes. The resolution of 1-arylaminopentenes proceeds with high efficiency and high trans-diastereoselectivity, whereas the resolution process of 1-alkylaminopentenes suffers from decreasing resolution efficiency with increasing steric demand of the aliphatic ...
