Synthesis of chiral 1,5-diamines derived from (R)-(+)-camphor

In this work we described the synthesis and characterization of a series of novel chiral 1,5-diamines derived from (R)-(+)-camphor through simple procedures in moderate to good yields. These new enantiopure compounds constitute a new family of chiral diamines with potential applicability as chiral building blocks, bioactive products or chiral ligands for asymmetric transformations.
