Abstract
In a rare study of carbenium ions inducing facial selectivity in SN1 reactions, an asymmetric Ritter reaction is described for chiral secondary benzylic alcohols. Using trifluoro-methanesulfonic acid, amides with high anti selectivity are produced. In contrast, the use of dinitrobenzenesulfonic acid provides syn-selective products.
