We report an efficient three‐step strategy for synthesizing rigid, chiral isohexide diamines derived from 1,4:3,6‐dianhydrohexitols. These biobased chiral building blocks are presently the subject of several investigations (in our and several other groups) because of their application in high‐perfor...
