Abstract

The application of the Starbon® Technology in the Ritter reaction to afford vic-N-acylamino-hydroxy compounds, in very high yields, is reported. Starbon®400-HSO<inf>3</inf> was used as a green and easily recovered mesoporous carbonaceous solid acid catalyst and applied, for the first time, to more complex naturally-derived substrates, such as steroids.
