trans-1,2-Diaminocyclohexane is an organic compound with the formula C6H10(NH2)2. This diamine is a building block for chiral ligands that are useful in asymmetric catalysis.[1]

A mixture of cis- and trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane is produced by the hydrogenation of o-phenylenediamine. The trans isomer can be separated into the two enantiomers using tartaric acid as the resolving agent.[2]

Ligands derived from chxn

Representative ligands prepared from this diamine are diaminocyclohexanetetraacetic acid (CyDTAH4), Trost ligand, and the salen analogue used in the Jacobsen epoxidation.
