Asymmetrical secondary amines were synthesized following the recently published reductive coupling of nitroarenes and olefins<sup>1</sup>. These amines were subsequently converted to novel dithiocarbamates. Dithiocarbamates are a well established class of ligands which form stable complexes with most transition metals. Synthesis of novel amines with secondary functionalization (halides, carbonyls) provide complexes with different chemical and biological properties as well as the possibility of further structural modifications. UV-VIS, IR and NMR give insight into the physical properties of each unique ligand. The synthesis and characterization of these new ligands will be reported.
