Selective intramolecular alkane oxidations: an RhII carboxylate catalyzed C-H amination reaction facilitates the preparation of 1,2-amino alcohols from primary carbamates. The reaction is stereospecific, providing access to chiral α-branched amines from optically pure starting materials with no loss in enantiomeric excess.
