Significance

An intramolecular double amination route to 1,2-diamines from readily available alkyl- and aryl-substituted N-benzylsulfamides via thiadiazolidine-1,2-dioxides is reported. The reaction involves an intramolecular hydroamination-NH insertion path of an unactivated double bond under Cu catalysis. It has limited scope (R = H and Me) and proceeds for thiadiazolidine fused with pyrrolidines, isoindolidines, tetrahydroquinolines, and tetrahydroisoquinolines in moderate to good yields.
