Abstract

Chiral nitridomanganese complex 1 was found to be a highly potential N1 unit source for the asymmetric synthesis of aziridines and 2-oxazolines from olefins such as styrene and its derivatives. When sulfonyl chlorides were employed as activators of the complex in the presence of pyridine, pyridine N-oxide, and a silver salt, the reaction of olefins with complex 1 proceeded smoothly to afford the N-sulfonylated aziridines. The aziridination of styrene ...
