Abstract

A general method for the direct intramolecular diamination of terminal olefins is presented. The reaction, mediated by hypervalent iodine oxidants, produces substituted 3-aminopiperidine scaffolds with high regio- and stereoselectivity, rendering this process relevant to both medicinal chemistry and natural products synthesis.
