Abstract

Abstract: A new procedure for the preparation of vicinal diamines is described beginning with unactivated olefins, cyanamide, and N-bromosuccinimide. Diamination proceeded stereospecifically and permitted access to nitrogen-unsubstituted diamines. With this procedure, 1-hexene (Za), 2-methylpropene (Zb), trans-2-butene (2c), trans-4-octene (2d), cis-2-butene (2e), and cyclohexene (20 were converted to the corresponding vicinal ...
