Am‐aza‐ing ! An efficient and straightforward method for the construction of optically active 9‐aminofluorenes by a Lewis acid (LA)‐catalyzed asymmetric intramolecular aza‐Friedel–Crafts alkylation of N ‐ tert ‐butanesulfinyl imines has been developed. The reaction can be accomplished with ease in the presence of a catalytic amount of Bi(OTf) 3 at room temperature to give the desired products in good yields and up to 96:4 diastereomeric ratio.
