Abstract

The copper-catalysed aziridination of styrene with copper-exchanged zeolite Y (CuHY) and copper (II) triflate (trifluoromethanesulfonate)(Cu (OTf) 2) as catalysts is described in detail. Two nitrene donors,[N-(p-tolylsulfonyl) imino)] phenyliodinane (PhI [double bond, length as m-dash] NTs) and [N-(p-nitrophenylsulfonyl) imino] phenyliodinane (PhI [double bond, length as m-dash] NNs) are compared. Modification of the catalyst with bis (oxazolines) ...
