Abstract:

This paper describes a novel diamination process of terminal olefins at allylic and homoallylic carbons via formal C-H activation using di-tert-butyldiaziridinone as nitrogen source and Pd(PPh3)4 as catalyst. A wide variety of terminal olefins can be effectively diaminated in good yields with high stereoselectivity.
