[reaction: see text] Pyridinium hydrobromide perbromide (Py x HBr3) catalyzes effectively the aziridination of electron-deficient as well as electron-rich olefins using Chloramine-T (N-chloro-N-sodio-p-toluenesulfonamide) as a nitrogen source to afford the corresponding aziridines in moderate to good yields.
