Abstract

Cyclic cis-1,3-diamines are versatile building blocks frequently found in natural molecules or biologically active compounds. In comparison with widely studied 1,2-diamines, and despite their chemical similarity, 1,3-diamines have been investigated less intensively probably because of a lack of general synthetic procedures giving access to these compounds with good levels of chemo-, regio-, and stereocontrol. In this Account we will give a general overview of the biological interest of cyclic cis-1,3-diamines. We will then describe the synthesis and potential applications of these compounds with a particular focus on the work realized in our laboratory.
