Abstract

The Lewis acid-catalysed transformation of epoxides to aziridines with iminophosphoranes as the nitrogen-fragment donor has been investigated. Of the Lewis acids tested, zinc (II) complexes had the best catalytic properties. The method works best for terminal and cyclic epoxides, internal epoxides being less reactive. Of the various iminophosphoranes employed N-(triphenylphosphoranylidene)-aniline and-isopropylamine were the most ...
