Application

(1S,2S)-N,N′-Dimethyl-1,2-diphenyl-1,2-ethylenediamine can be used as:
  • A precursor for the synthesis of chiral imidazolinium salts, which are used as catalysts for aza Diels−Alder reaction and as shift reagents for potassium salt of Mosher′s acid.
  • A ligand in the preparation of 2,3-dihydrobenzofurans and indanes by reacting alkyl halides with alkyl electrophiles using nickel/diamine catalyst.
  • A ligand in the synthesis of carbamates, sulfonamides, and sulfones through alkyl-alkyl Suzuki reaction using Ni catalyst.
