Abstract

The base-promoted isomerization of aziridines to allyl amines is still an almost unknown reaction. However, the use of superbasic reagents has shown to be able to promote a regio- and stereoselective conversion of monocyclic and bicyclic sulfonyl aziridines. Moreover, the use of alkoxy substituted aziridines opens new routes to non-natural α-and β-amino acids.
