1,2-Diamine derivatives are valuable building blocks to heterocyclic compounds and important precursors of biologically relevant compounds. In this respect, amino acid-derived β-keto esters are a suitable starting point for the synthesis of β,γ-diamino ester derivatives through a two-step reductive amination procedure with either simple amines or α-amino esters. AcOH and NaBH(3)CN are the additive and reducing agents of choice. The stereoselectivity of the reaction is still an issue, due to the ...[more]
