From racemic alcohols to enantiopure amines: Ru-catalyzed diastereoselective amination.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: A commercially available ruthenium(II) PNP-type pincer catalyst (Ru-Macho) promotes the formation of ?-chiral tert-butanesulfinylamines from racemic secondary alcohols and Ellman's chiral tert-butanesulfinamide via a hydrogen borrowing strategy. The formation of ?-chiral tert-butanesulfinylamines occurs in yields ranging from 31% to 89% with most examples giving >95:5 dr.
