CAS No.35132-20-8

(1S, 2S)-(-)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine and (1R,2R)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine, both exhibiting optical activity, play a crucial role as essential chiral reagents. Currently, they find extensive applications in asymmetric synthesis and optical resolution, spanning diverse reactions such as asymmetric hydroxylation of olefins, asymmetric aldol condensation, asymmetric Diels-Alder reactions, asymmetric propargylation of carbonyl compounds, synthesis of optically active propargylic alcohols and propargylic amines, asymmetric epoxidation of olefins lacking functional groups, and the cleavage of naphthol. These compounds stand as widely utilized chiral reagents in the chemical industry.
