Diamine Synthesis via the Nitrogen-Directed Azidation of sigma- and pi-C-C Bonds

Jérôme Waser, Mingming Wang

Diamines are essential building blocks for the synthesis of agrochemicals, drugs, and organic materials, yet their synthesis remains challenging, as both nitrogens need to be differentiated and diverse substitution patterns (1,2, 1,3, or 1,4) are required. ...
