Potassium carbonate (19 mg, 0.14 mmol, 4.00 eq.) was charged in a flame-dried vial under an atmosphere of nitrogen. A solution of diamine 35 (11 mg, 0.04 mmol, 1.00 eq.) in anhydrous acetonitrile (0.2 mL) was added, followed by benzyl bromide (17 µL, 0.14 mmol, 4.00 eq.). The vial was capped and the white suspension was stirred at 80 °C for 18 h. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, diluted with water (1 mL) and extracted with Et2O (3 × 1 mL). The organic layers were combined, washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography (n-pentane:Et2O 99:1) to give diamine 36 (15 mg, 64%) as a colourless liquid. . TLC: Rf = 0.67 (n-pentane:Et2O 90:10). 1H NMR (500 MHz, Chloroform-d): δ 7.37 (8H, m, H3), 7.29 (8H, m, H2), 7.19 (4H, m, H1), 3.73 (4H, d, J = 13.6 Hz, H5), 3.26 (4H, d, J = 13.6 Hz, H5’), 2.48 (2H, dq, J = 10.0, 6.5 Hz, H6), 2.04 (2H, dqd, J = 9.9, 6.8, 2.4 Hz, H10), 1.73 (2H, dqd, J = 10.0, 6.8, 2.4 Hz, H8), 1.42 – 1.33 (4H, m, H12 & H14), 1.01 (6H, d, J = 6.5 Hz, H7), 0.63 (6H, d, J = 6.8 Hz, H13), 0.57 (6H, d, J = 6.8 Hz, H9), 0.56 (6H, m, H15), 0.22 (6H, d, J = 6.8 Hz, H11) ppm. 13C NMR (126 MHz, Chloroform-d): δ 140.5 (C4), 129.2 (C3), 128.1 (C2), 126.8 (C1), 54.8 (C6), 53.7 (C5), 36.5 (C8), 36.0 (C12 or C14), 35.4 (C14 or C12), 34.4 (C10), 12.5 (C9 or C15), 12.2 (C13), 11.7 (C11), 11.6 (C15 or C9), 9.9 (C7) ppm.
