General description

(1R, 2R)-1,2-Bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)ethylenediamine or (R, R)-1,2-bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1,2-diaminoethane (HPEN) is commonly used in the stereoselective synthesis of enantiopure compounds.

Application

(1R, 2R)-1,2-Bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)ethylenediamine can be used as a precursor for the synthesis of:
  • Enantiomerically pure trans-3-arylpiperazine-2-carboxylic acid derivatives via diaza-Cope rearrangement (DCR).
  • 4,4′-(1,2-Diazaniumylethane-1,2-diyl)dibenzoate trihydrate by treating with terephthalaldehydic acid.

The Chin group is interested in computational and experimental approaches to understanding stereoselective recognition and catalysis. Their studies in weak forces (H-bonding, electronic and steric effects) has led to a highly efficient method for making limitless varieties of chiral vicinal diamines from the 'mother diamine' that are useful for developing stereoselective organocatalysts or transition metal-based catalysts as well as for developing drugs (Acc Chem Res (2012) p1345). The 'mother diamine' is also useful for making binol, monophos and binap analogs. The Chin group is also interested in using reversible covalent bonds for stereoselective recognition and L to D conversion of natural and non-natural amino acids (EJOC (2012) p229).

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
