An approach to the regioselective diamination of conjugated di- and trienes

摘要

It's do or diaminate: The selective diamination of 1,3-butadienes in the presence of hypervalent iodine reagents has been developed. This oxidation process proceeds with complete selectivity in favor of diamination. Depending on the substrate, it proceeds either with 1,2- or 1,4-regioselectivity (see scheme).
