Abstract
Asymmetric arylation of aldimines catalyzed by heterogeneous chiral rhodium nanoparticles has been developed. The reaction proceeded in aqueous media without significant decomposition of the imines by hydrolysis to afford chiral (diarylmethyl)amines in high yields with outstanding enantioselectivities. This catalyst system exhibited the highest turnover number (700) in heterogeneous catalysts reported to date for these reactions. The reusability of the catalyst was also demonstrated.
