In order to synthesize optically active amino acids containing the adamantane core, an enantioselective desymmetrization of adamantanes via rhodium‐catalyzed C−H bond amination was examined. After investigating various conditions, it was found that the coupling reaction between disubstituted adamantane and aryloxysulfonamide was catalyzed by Rh 2 ( S ‐TCPTTL) 4 to furnish the desired products having up to 85% ee (e.r.=92.4: 7.6) (>99% ee after recrystallization). The synthetic utility of the enantioenriched products as chiral building blocks was demonstrated by transforming one of them into a dipeptide derivative and a Schiff‐base ligand. The absolute configuration of one of the amino acid derivatives was determined unambiguously by X‐ray single‐crystal structure analysis.
