Bis‐sulfamyl imines are shown to be potentially ideal substrates for rhodium‐catalysed asymmetricadditions of arylboron nucleophiles as they show: (i) near perfect enantioselectivities (11 examples, 98–99+% ee), (ii) good to excellent diastereoselectivities (10–32:1 rac:meso), and (iii) high functional group tolerance in removal of the low molecular weight protecting group via mild heating in aqueous
A straightforward strategy for direct benzylic C–H bond amination via an electrochemical Ritter-type reaction is developed. The reaction demonstrates simpler and milder reaction conditions over the existing methods without extra mediator. Moderate to excellent yields up to 94% of the desired amide products were obtained with a broad substrate scope. The removal of the Ac group by a simple step can
