  1. Isatins are extensively researched compounds with diverse applications, particularly as synthetic precursors in pharmaceutical developments. However, their use as optical probes for enantioselective sensing of chiral amines has not been explored to date. Herein, we present a novel chiroptical assay with an optimized isatin that generates strong, red‐shifted circular dichroism (CD) signals at approximately 380 nm upon ketimine formation with chiral amines. The intensity of the induced CD signal increases linearly with the enantiomeric excess of the analyte and thus allows quantitative chirality analysis. The general usefulness of this approach is demonstrated with a broad range of aliphatic and aromatic chiral amines, and by accurate determination of the enantiomeric composition of 10 samples.
