Diastereoselective Ritter reactions of chiral secondary benzylic alcohols.
An acid-catalysed Ritter reaction of chiral secondary benzylic alcohols enables diastereoselective access to chiral amides, which represent inter alia valuable intermediates for the synthesis of chiral 1,2-diamines and beta-amino acids.
