Sigma-Aldrich 1,2-Diaminocyclohexane, mixture of cis and trans

1,2-Diaminocyclohexane undergoes non-templated reaction with homochiral as well as the racemic form of trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane with terephthaldehyde to yield (3+3)-cyclocondensed molecular triangles[1]. It acts as ligand and forms organotin complexes, having potential applications as metal-based antitumour drugs[2].

1,2-Diaminocyclohexane was used in the synthesis of chiral ruthenium(IV)-oxo complexes[3].
