Catalytic Diamination of Olefins via N–N BondActivation.

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.
