General description

1,2-Bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)ethylenediamine is a chiral diamine, which acts as a key precursor (mother diamine) in the synthesis of alkyl, aryl, and heterocyclic diamines (daughter diamines), used for various synthetic applications.

Application

(1S,2S)-1,2-Bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)ethylenediamine can be used:
  • As a starting material for the synthesis of Schiff base complexes of gold(III), bearing potent anticancer activity.
  • As a stereoinductor in the synthesis of quinoline and isoquinoline based 1,2-diamines; that are employed as catalysts in the preparation of warfarin and coumachlor in water.
