An Intermolecular Palladium‐Catalyzed Diamination of Unactivated Alkenes

Abstract

Adding 2Ns: Palladium catalysis introduces two nitrogen groups in a new regio and chemoselective diamination of non-activated alkenes that proceeds under entirely intermolecular reaction control. This palladium-catalyzed reaction employs commercial nitrogen sources in combination with a hypervalent iodo(III) reagent as oxidant (see scheme; Tos=toluenesulfonyl).
