Giving the cat complete control : A stereoconvergent formal hydrogenolysis of N ‐sulfonyl aminoalcohols in the presence of a chiral Pd catalyst and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) gave chiral amines with two contiguous stereocenters (see scheme; TFE=trifluoroethanol, Ts= p ‐tosyl). The products were formed with up to 94 % ee by acid‐catalyzed dehydration to afford an enesulfonamide, enamine/imine isomerization, and Pd‐catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation.
