Abstract

A two-step process for the synthesis of various diamide diamines derived from 1,n-diamino benzene compounds is described. The amidation reaction is simple, mild, involves readily available bis(N-acylthiazolidine-2-thione) derivatives as acylating agents and requires only stoichiometric equivalents of diamine and acylating agents.
