The combination of an aldehyde, an allylic bromide, and tert-butanesulfinamide in the presence of indium metal and titanium tetraethoxide allows straightforward access to homoallylamine derivatives in high yields and stereoselectivities. Moreover, the synthetic utility of the enantioenriched homoallylamine derived from
