Abstract
Disclosed are complexes and methods of using the complexes as catalysts for addition of amines to unsaturated electrophiles, as well as novel compounds produced by the disclosed complexes and methods. The disclosed methods may utilize the disclosed complexes as catalysts for adding unprotected primary amines and secondary amines to unsaturated electrophiles in an enantioselective manner to produce novel compounds which may include amino substituted succinimide compounds.
