Metal-free chiral phosphoric acids and calcium phosphates both catalyze highly enantio- diastereoselective electrophilic α-bromination of enecarbamates to provide an atom-economical synthesis enantioenriched vicinal haloamines. Either enantiomer can be formed in good yield with excellent diastereo- enantioselectivity simply by switching the catalyst from a acid its salt.
