A Pd(0)-Catalyzed Diamination of Terminal Olefins at Allylic and Homoallylic Carbons via Formal C−H Activation under Solvent-Free Conditions

This paper describes a novel diamination process of terminal olefins at allylic and homoallylic carbons via formal C−H activation using di-tert-butyldiaziridinone as nitrogen source and Pd(PPh3)4 as catalyst. A wide variety of terminal olefins can be effectively diaminated in good yields with high stereoselectivity.
