Abstract

We have developed a one-pot synthetic method for producing 1,2-diamines from easily prepared and commercially available precursors through a formal umpolung process. Our method utilizes an efficient [3 + 2] cycloaddition as the key step in forming substituted 1,2-diamines in moderate to high yields. These resulting compounds can undergo subsequent transformations, demonstrating their utility as synthetic building blocks for more complex scaffolds. Finally, we propose a reasonable mechanism for this transformation using density functional theory modeling, justifying the experimental observations.
