✦ Synopsis
We have recently reported on the palladium-promoted oxyamination' and aziridination 2 of olefins. These transformations were obtained by aminopalladation3 of the olefin followed by an oxidative cleavage of the palladium-carbon bond in the adduct.
In the oxyamination study it was found' that vicinal diamines are formed as side-products from terminal olefins in the presence of excess amine. This observation led us to study the oxidation of 8-aminoalkylpalladium compounds 1 in the presence of amine, using different oxidizing agents.
We report here that olefins can be stereospecifically transformed into vicinal diamines 2 by an aminopalladation-oxidation sequence (es l), using oxidants such as bromine, m-chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA), and N-bromosuccinimide (NBS).

Stereospecific cleavage of carbon-transition metal o-bonds has recently received considerable attention. Halogen cleavage of the metal-carbon bond may occur with either inversion l-3 or retention3+ of configuration at carbon. In metal-for-metal exchange reactions, retention at carbon seems to be the
