A gram‐scale preparation of (1 S ,2 S )‐ and (1 R ,2 R )‐1,2‐diamino‐1,2‐diphenylethanes, (1 S ,2 S )‐ 1 and (1 R ,2 R )‐ 1 , is reported via (±)‐ iso ‐amarine 4 . Strategically, the activation of (±)‐ iso ‐amarine 4 for hydrolysis to the required diamines and enantiomeric resolution is achieved simultaneously by formation of two separable diastereoisomeric N ‐acylamidines 5 and 6 derived from direct DCC‐mediated coupling of (±)‐ iso ‐amarine 4 with ( R )‐acetylmandelic acid. iso ‐Amarine 4 is conveniently obtained from amarine 3 , and a one‐pot synthesis of the latter is reported from benzaldehyde and hexamethyldisilazane as catalysed by benzoic acid.
