The Chemistry of Vicinal Diamines

Denis Lucet et al. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. .

Abstract

Especially in the field of enantioselective synthesis, vicinal diamines (1,2-diamines) 1 and compounds easily prepared from them-such as 1,2-bisimines, 1,2-diamides, or imidazolidin-2-ones-are widely used by organic chemists. Various strategies have been developed to produce these compounds selectively. Many natural products and medicinal agents also contain a 1,2-diamino unit.

Keywords: Chiral auxiliaries; Diamines; N ligands; Synthetic methods.
