Cobalt-catalyzed Amination of Aziridines and Azetidines Toward 1,2- and 1,3-Diamines.

Diamines play important roles in synthetic organic chemistry and thus facilitate life and materials sciences. Herein we report a cobalt-catalyzed ring opening, nucleophilic amination of aziridines and azetidines with N-fluorosulfonamides toward a wide range of 1,2- and 1,3-diamine derivatives in moderate to good yields under mild conditions.
