Effective Synthesis of Chiral <i>N</i>‐Fluoroaryl Aziridines through Enantioselective Aziridination of Alkenes with Fluoroaryl Azides

Abstract

The CoII complex of a D2-symmetric chiral porphyrin ([Co(D2-Por*)], see scheme) is a highly effective catalyst for the enantioselective aziridination of alkenes with fluoroaryl azides. The reaction can be performed at RT with low catalyst loading, and the olefin is the limiting reagent. Furthermore, the reaction is tolerant toward different combinations of aromatic olefins and fluoroaryl azides.
