title: Palladium(II)-catalyzed intramolecular diamination of unfunctionalized alkenes.
abstract: Intramolecular diamination reactions are described which yield cyclic ureas as direct products of an oxidative alkene transformation in the presence of palladium acetate and iodosobenzene diacetate as terminal oxidant. The reaction is truly catalytic in metal catalyst and represents the proof of principle for this elusive type of alkene oxidation.
