Diamination of conjugated dienes and trienes catalyzed by N-heterocyclic carbene-Pd(0) complexes

This paper describes a diamination process using di-t-butyldiaziridinone as nitrogen source and N-heterocyclic carbene-Pd(0) complex as catalyst. A wide variety of conjugated dienes and trienes can be effectively diaminated in good yields with high regio- and stereoselectivities.
