Abstract

Vicinal diamines represent a very important class of compounds in organic chemistry as they not only serve as lig-ACHTUNGTRENNUNGands or catalysts in asymmetric reactions, but have also been shown to exhibit a broad spectrum of biological activities.[1] Among the many methods, direct diamination of simple unsaturated hydrocarbons offers one of the most straightforward and practical approaches to this motif. Although significant progress has ...
