A simple chiral primary–tertiary diamine derived from C2-symmetric 1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-diamine as the organocatalyst in combination with the trifluoroacetic acid additive for the asymmetric Mannich reaction of cyclic N-sulfonyl trifluoromethylated ketimines and methyl ketones afforded the desired product with high enantioselectivity (73–96% ee). The reactions proceeded well for a variety of different substituted cyclic N-sulfonyl trifluoromethyl ketimines and various alkyl methyl ketones, providing access to diverse enantioenriched benzo-fused cyclic sulfamidate N-heterocycles bearing a trifluoromethylated α-tetrasubstituted carbon stereocenter. This study also investigated the diastereoselective reduction of the carbonyl group and ring cleavage reduction of the sulfamidate group of the corresponding Mannich product.
