Especially in the field of enantioselective synthesis , vicinal diamines (1,2‐diamines) 1 and compounds easily prepared from them—such as 1,2‐bisimines, 1,2‐diamides, or imidazolidin‐2‐ones—are widely used by organic chemists. Various strategies have been developed to produce these compounds selectively. Many natural products and medicinal agents also contain a 1,2‐diamino unit.
