An enantioselective addition of alcohols to imines proceeds in the presence of a
catalytic amount of a chiral phosphoric acid catalyst to give the respective
chiral N,O-aminals in excellent yield and enantioselectivity.

Unusual N-Acyl-N,O-acetals are present in a number of bioactive
natural products and can act as a synthetic precursor to unstable reactive
N-acylimines. Various N-acyl-N,O-acetals can be prepared
under mild conditions mediated by titanium ethoxide (Ti(OEt)4). The
method also offers a new strategy to make other O-alkyl-N,O-acetals.

A highly efficient ruthenium-catalyzed stereospecific N-demethylative
rearrangement of isoxazolidines gives synthetically useful N-H-1,3-oxazinanes.
1,3-Oxazinanes are useful building blocks, which can be converted to
N-H-1,3-aminoalcohols in a subsequent step.

ert-Butylperoxyamido acetals can be generated in high yields under
mild conditions via oxidative functionalization of C-H bonds adjacent to the amide nitrogen atom. Treatment with Grignard reagents enables the synthesis of
α-substituted amides.
