Abstract
An enriching experience: Chiral phosphoric acids have been used to catalyze the title transformation for aromatic and aliphatic hemiaminal ethers. The process affords the corresponding products in good to high enantioselectivity (see scheme; Boc=tert-butoxycarbonyl, G=aromatic group). The method enables facile access to highly enantioenriched 1,3-diamine derivatives.
