Abstract

The reactivity of 1-arenesulfonyl-2-(bromomethyl) aziridines with respect to lithium dialkylcyanocuprates and lithium dialkylcuprates (Gilman reagents) has been evaluated for the first time, pointing to the conclusion that these substrates can be applied successfully as synthetic equivalents for the 2-aminopropane dication synthon towards 2-alkylaziridines and α-branched N-tosylamides in good yields.
