Naturally occurring diamines and polyamines have attracted considerable attention in synthetic organic chemistry due to their interesting biological activities, 1 potential pharmacological applications, 2 and asymmetric catalysis. 3 However, their synthetic use is quite limited mainly due to lack of efficient methods for monofunctionalization, although this problem has been averted by employing amines in large excess, which can be rather expensive. Recently, we ...
