Let's get together : Dimerization of enantiopure terminal aziridines by lithiation gives efficiently N‐protected 2‐ene‐1,4‐diamines with complete selectivity for the E olefin (see scheme). The usefulness of the method was demonstrated in a concise synthesis of ( R , S , S , R )‐2,5‐diamino‐1,6‐diphenylhexane‐3,4‐diol, the core unit of many extremely potent HIV protease inhibitors and also asymmetric catalysts.
