One-Pot Highly Diastereoselective Synthesis of <i>cis</i>-Vinylaziridines via the Sulfur Ylide-Mediated Aziridination and Palladium(0)-Catalyzed Isomerization

Abstract

Highly diastereoselective synthesis of cis-trisubstituted vinylaziridines containing a quaternary carbon center is realized by a one-pot protocol in which the combination of sulfur ylide-mediated aziridination of cyclic ketimines and Pd(0)-catalyzed isomerization is employed successfully.
