Vicinal diamines are important structural motifs present in variousbiologically and chemically significant molecules. Direct diaminationof olefins provides an effective approach to this class of compounds.Unlike well-established oxidation processes such as epoxidation, dihydroxylation,and aminohydroxylation, direct diamination of olefins had remaineda long-standing challenge and had been less well developed.

Indolines are important moieties present in various biologically significant molecules and have attracted considerable attention in synthetic chemistry. This paper describes a Heck reaction/CH activation/amination sequence for forming indolines using di-tert-butyldiaziridinone. The reaction process likely proceeds via a pallada(II)cycle, which is converted into an indoline by oxidative addition to the diaziridinone and two subsequent CN bond formations.

A novel cascade reaction involving a Heck reaction/C-H activation/amination sequence with iodobenzenes (I), olefins such as (II), and di-tert-butyldiaziridine (III) providing access to a variety of polycyclic indolines, e.g. (IV), is reported. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
