Tropo' bello! Asymmetric activation of tropos biphenol 1 and Ti(O i Pr) 4 with cinchonine 2 generates a remarkably effective catalyst in situ for the asymmetric Strecker reaction of N ‐tosyl (Ts) imines under mild conditions. Various substrates including aldimines, aryl alkyl ketoimines, and unsymmetrical diaryl ketoimines were investigated, and most of them exhibited high enantioselectivities (up to 99 % ee ) as well as high reactivities.
