Diamination of Conjugated Dienes and Trienes Catalyzed by N-Heterocyclic Carbene−Pd(0) Complexes

This paper describes a diamination process using di-t-butyldiaziridinone as nitrogen source and N-heterocyclic carbene−Pd(0) complex as catalyst. A wide variety of conjugated dienes and trienes can be effectively diaminated in good yields with high regio- and stereoselectivities.
