Abstract

Iron (III) porphyrin complexes Fe (Por) Cl are effective catalysts for aziridination of alkenes using bromamine-T as the nitrene source. The catalytic system can operate under mild conditions with alkenes as limiting reagents. The aziridination reaction is general and suitable for a wide variety of alkenes, including aromatic, aliphatic, cyclic, and acyclic olefins, as well as α, β-unsaturated esters. For 1, 2-disubstituted olefins, the reactions proceeded ...
