In pursuit of our studies we have observed that 4,5-dimethylbenzene-1,2-diamine  is significantly more reactive than 4-toluidine in the Pd(II)-mediated coupling with isocyanides. We established that the reason for such enhanced reactivity is a stepwise mechanism of the coupling for 4,5-dimethylbenzene-1,2-diamine that includes an intramolecular nucleophilic attack on the coordinated isocyanide. Reaction of 4,5-dimethylbenzene-1,2-diamine with palladium-iscocyanides led to the first mixed bis(diaminocarbene) complex containing two different diaminocarbene ligands.
