Conclusions -Transition-metal catalyzed 1,2-diamination allows rapid access to protected diamines from alkenes. However, deprotection conditions are quite harsh (e.g. LAH, reflux con. HCl). - High catalyst loadings are often required. - Limited enantioselective approach available. -The dinitrogen source has a strong influence on the reaction at the terminal or the internal alkene. -Some mechanistic details are elucidated. More studies are required (e.g. nickel catalyzed and copper catalyzed diaminations). - Much work remained to be done to make this methodology general and practical.
