An enantioselective bromoamination of allyl aniline with N ‐bromosuccinimide (NBS) catalyzed by BINAP(S) (BINAP monosulfide) is described. This protocol could provide a range of chiral 2‐bromomethyl indolines in good to excellent yields with up to 87% ee. Furthermore, the resulting chiral 2‐bromomethyl indolines could be easily converted into synthetically useful chiral building blocks.
