Chiral azo compounds: Enantioselective synthesis and transformations into β-amino alcohols and α-amino acids with a quaternary stereocenter

Taking advantage of radical carboaminations producing azo compounds, a new chemo-enzymatic approach to enantiomerically enriched azo alcohols, β-amino alcohols and non-natural (aromatic) amino acids with a quaternary stereocenter is reported.
