Herein, access to axially and centrally chiral sulfinamides via asymmetric allylic alkylation was reported. A series of sulfinamides were obtained with good outcomes (up to 99% yield, >19:1 dr, and 98:2 er). The synthetic utility of the reaction was demonstrated by scaled-up synthesis, product transformation, and application as a catalyst in asymmetric catalysis.
