AgSbF₆-Promoted Cycloaddition Reaction of 2-Trifluoromethyl-<i>N</i>-tosylaziridine with Aldehydes

Abstract

2-Trifluoromethyl-N-tosylaziridine reacted with various aldehydes in the presence of a catalytic amount of AgSbF(6) to provide the corresponding cis-4-trifluoromethyl-2-substituted-N-tosyl-1,3-oxazolidines with excellent regio- and stereoselectivity.
