Abstract
The photoreductive coupling of pyridine-, arene- and alkynecarboxaldimines is a very convenient procedure for the preparation of vicinal diamines in g ood to excellent yields. The usual trend gave an excess of meso diamine, wh ich enhances the usefulness of this method. The procedure tolerates bulky g roups such as tert-butyl and diphenylmethyl on the nitrogen atom.
