Thiourea-based iminophosphorane (BIMP) organocatalysts featuring SPhos-or BI-DIME phosphine units have been developed and successfully applied in the asymmetric addition of nitromethane to N-Boc-protected trifluoromethyl aryl ketimines. α-Trifluoromethyl β-nitroamines were obtained in 40-82% isolated yields and 80-95% enantioselectivities. A careful evaluation of the catalytic activity of BIMPs indicates that the catalysts derived from the combination via Staudinger reaction of a chiral 1,2-amino alcoholderived thiourea-organoazide with electron-rich phosphines, promote the aza-Henry reaction on fluorinated ketimines with the highest enantioselectivity, leading to the amine featuring a tetrasubstituted stereocenter in up to 95% ee. The reaction was performed also on gram scale, without loss of enantioselectivity.
