Diamination of olefins presents a powerful strategy to access vicinal diamines. During the last decade, metal‐catalyzed diamination of olefins has received considerable attention. This study describes an efficient sequential diamination and dehydrogenation process of terminal olefins with CuBr as catalyst and di‐ tert ‐butyldiaziridinone as nitrogen source, providing a facile and viable approach to a variety of imidazolin‐2‐ones, which are important structural motifs present in various biologically active molecules.
