SYNTHESIS OF 1,2-AMINOAZIDES. CONVERSION TO UNSYMMETRICAL VICINAL DIAMINES BY CATALYTIC HYDROGENATION OR REDUCTIVE ALKYLATION WITH DICHLOROBORANES.

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4020(01)91013-0

1,2-aminoazides are easily prepared from 1,2-amino alcohols.Catalytic hydrogenation in the presence of palladium on charcoal or reductive alkylation with dichloroboranes afford with good yields unsymmetrically substituted vicinal diamines.
