The asymmetric ring-opening/cyclization of cyclopropyl ketones with primary amine nucleophiles was catalyzed by a chiral N,N-dioxide/scandium(III) complex through a kinetic resolution process. A broad range of cyclopropyl ketones and primary amines are suitable substrates of this reaction. The corresponding products were afforded in excellent enantioselectivities and yields (up to 97%ee and 98% yield) under mild reaction conditions. This method provides a promising access to chiral 2,3-dihydropyrroles as well as an effective procedure for the kinetic resolution of 2-substituted cyclopropyl ketones.
