Abstract
The Front Cover Picture, designed by Anastasiia Afanasenko, illustrates the methodology for the synthesis of enantioenriched amines by the direct Fe-catalysed coupling of amines with alcohols through the borrowing hydrogen strategy, while at least one of these substrates is achiral. As in the well-known “The Tortoise and the Hare” fable by Aesop, tortoise – stands for chiral amine – won the race retaining the stereochemical integrity in the final product, whereas beta-branched enantioenriched primary alcohol – depicts by the hare – lost the competition due to its racemization that led to the partial loss of the chirality in the target amine. Details can be found in the Research Article by Katalin Barta and collaborators (G. Bottari, A. Afanasenko, A. A. Castillo-Garcia, B. L. Feringa, K. Barta, Adv. Synth. Catal. 2021, 363, 5436–5442; DOI: 10.1002/adsc.202100231).
