Abstract

Aziridines are versatile synthetic intermediates that can undergo regio- and stereoselective ring-opening reactions with both heteroatomic and carbon nucleophiles. 1., , and Non-racemic, terminal aziridines are an important class of these saturated heterocycles and have been prepared from α-amino acids, 2., , , and epoxides, 3., and carbohydrates, 4 or by transformations of CC 5., , , and and CN bonds. 6., , and We have described a novel method for the ...
