Abstract

N, N-Dichloro-p-toluenesulfonamide (TsNCl2) was found to be an efficient nitrogen source for the aziridination of unfunctionalized alkenes using palladium catalysts. Among the palladium salts, palladium acetate was the most effective catalyst for this reaction. A variety of alkenes were reacted at room temperature with TsNCl2 to form the desired aziridines in moderate to good yields. This method can complement our previous protocol which is ...
