Inside Cover: Efficient and Stereodivergent Electrochemical Synthesis of Optically Pure Menthylamines (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 24/2011)

Stereoselective cathodic synthesis of 8-substituted (1R,3R,4S)-menthylamines.

The electrochemical generation of menthylamines from the corresponding menthone oximes equipped with an additional substituent in position 8 is described. Due to 1,3-diaxial interactions a pronounced diastereoselectivity for the menthylamines is found.
