Abstract The 1, 2-diamine motif is present in a number of natural products with interesting
biological activity and in many important pharmaceutical agents. Chiral 1, 2-diamines are …

The discovery of nonproteinogenic amino acids among natural products, either in native
state or as fragments of complex molecules, has increased the level of interest in this family …

Metal‐free and asymmetric: The first enantioselective diamination of styrenes simply
requires a chiral hypervalent iodine (III) reagent as an oxidant and bismesylimide as a …

Covering: July 2001 to December 2012 This review covers pyrrolizidine alkaloids isolated
from natural sources. Topics include: aspects of structure, isolation, and biological …

Palladium catalysis has been instrumental in the development of the intramolecular
diamination of alkenes. Reagent combinations of a palladium catalyst and iodosobenzene …

A method for the synthesis of bi-and tricyclic amidines has been developed through copper-
catalyzed aerobic [3+ 2]-annulation reaction of N-alkenyl amidines. These cyclic amidines …

The 1, 2-diamine moiety is an ubiquitous structural motif found in a wealth of natural
products, including non-proteinogenic amino acids and alkaloids, in pharmaceutical agents …

In this review the stereochemistry of palladium‐catalyzed addition of nucleophiles to alkenes
is discussed, and examples of these reactions in organic synthesis are given. Most of the …

Diaminations are a girl's best friend: New reactions in the field of transition‐metal‐catalyzed
diamination of olefins provide a powerful tool for the elaboration of more complex molecules …

1, 2-Diamines represent a functional group in organic chemistry, which commonly is not
conceived in a direct manner, but rather through a combination of several synthetic steps.[1] …
