A catalytic asymmetric Henry reaction has been developed with use of a sulfonyldiamine-CuCl complex as a catalyst. A series of new binaphthyl-containing sulfonyldiamine ligands (2a-h) were readily synthesized in two steps starting from commercially available chiral 1,2-diamines. The (R,R)-diamine-(R)-binaphthyl ligand

Promoted by CuCl/CCl(4), a variety of sulfonyl azides and tertiary amines were successfully coupled to give sulfonyl amidine derivatives in good to excellent yields. A possible mechanism for this reaction is discussed.
