2,3-Butanediamine are organic compounds with the formula CH3CH(NH2)CH(NH2)CH3. Three stereoisomers exist, meso and a pair of enantiomers. These diamines form complexes with transition metals.[3]

Synthesis

[edit]

2,3-Butanediamines can be prepared by hydrolyzing 2-ethoxy-4,5-dihydro-4,5-dimethylimidazole with barium hydroxide.[4] Alternative, it is produced by reduction of dimethylglyoxime with lithium aluminium hydride.[5] The meso and the d,l diastereomers can be separated by fractional crystallization of the hydrochlorides. The enantiomers have been resolved using tartrate salts.[6]

Reactions

Structure of the cation [Co(meso-bn)2CO3]+ as determined by X-ray crystallography. Color code: red = N, blue = N.

In coordination chemistry, 2,3-butanediamine (abbreviated bn) has illuminates aspects of the stereochemistry. The structure of [Co(meso-2,3-butanediamine)2CO3]+ confirms the presence of the rarely observed axial methyl groups on each of the diamine-cobalt rings.[7]
