摘要

A novel intramolecular asymmetric ketone-N-sulfinylimine pinacol-type reductive coupling reaction induced by SmI2 was reported. A series of 1-amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-carbinols were obtained in moderate to good yields with excellent ee and high dr. [Supplementary materials are available for this article.
