clear colorless to light yellow liquid

(^+)-trans-1,2-Diaminocyclohexane is employed in the synthesis of macrocyclic [3+3] hexa Schiff base. It also plays an important role in the preparation of multidentate ligands, chiral auxiliaries and chiral stationary phases. Further, it is used to prepare [2+2] macrocyclization by reacting with aliphatic dialdehydes. In addition to this, it acts as a chiral ligand, which finds application in asymmetric catalysis.

Purify and store the diamine as for the cis-isomer above as it is a strong base and becomes yellow on storage. [Beilstein 13 IV 1.]
