trans-(1R,2R)-N,N’-Bismethyl-1,2-cyclohexanediamine (Cat No.: R050521) is a chiral diamine featuring two methyl-substituted amino groups positioned on a cyclohexane ring in a trans-1,2-configuration. With defined (1R,2R) stereochemistry, it is widely used as a ligand or chiral auxiliary in asymmetric synthesis and coordination chemistry. Its rigid, non-planar structure enhances enantioselectivity in metal-catalyzed reactions. This compound is also employed in the development of pharmaceutical intermediates and catalysts for fine chemical production, where precise control of stereochemistry is essential for achieving desired biological or chemical outcomes.
