Reaction swiftly turned white with precipitate.
TLC with 1:9:90 NH4OH:MeOH:DCM indicated completion.
Quenched with ammonium chloride solution, then worked up with DCM (25 mL) then chloroform (2 x 25 mL) - should have been chloroform all the way through. Washed with water and brine. Reaction yielded a relatively large amount of fluffy white solid - was concerned that some of it was ammonium chloride but it didn't seem soluble in water at all.
A solvent screen revealed that the solid was only really soluble in DMF at rt.

Considerably higher yield suggests that part of the issue previously was one of the reagents.

KBS43 - Nosyl protection of linear diamine .docx
Rationale
Nosyl is an electron deficient PG and will help to stabilise the N- required during the alkylation reaction. Alternatiavely, a nosyl-protected amine could participate in the Fukuyama-Mitsunobu reaction.
