The first enantioconvergent transition-metal-catalyzed amination of racemic α-tertiary 1,2-diols providing access to vicinal β-amino alcohols is disclosed. iridium-catalyzed reaction proceeds through a chiral phosphoric acid-mediated borrowing hydrogen pathway with excellent yields and enantioselectivities for range amine nucleophiles 1,2-diols. An array were obtained high (50 examples up 91% yield 99% ee). These important amino alcohol products can be easily converted into ligands bioactive skeletons. Mechanistic investigations proposed dynamic kinetic resolution involving imine formation then reduction as the enantiodetermining step.
