Cobalt-catalyzed amination of aziridines and azetidines toward 1,2- and 1,3-diamines

Org Biomol Chem. 2024 Mar 27;22(13):2554-2557. doi: 10.1039/d4ob00168k.

Abstract

Diamines play important roles in synthetic organic chemistry and thus facilitate life and materials sciences. Herein we report a cobalt-catalyzed ring opening, nucleophilic amination of aziridines and azetidines with N-fluorosulfonamides toward a wide range of 1,2- and 1,3-diamine derivatives in moderate to good yields under mild conditions.
