title: Cu(I)-catalyzed diamination of disubstituted terminal olefins: an approach to potent NK1 antagonist.
abstract: This paper describes a diamination process using di-tert-butyldiaziridinone as nitrogen source and CuCl as catalyst. A wide variety of disubstituted terminal olefins can be efficiently diaminated in good yields under mild condition. This diamination process was used to synthesize potent NK(1) antagonist Sch 425078.
