A Convenient Synthesis of Chiral Nonracemic Vinyl Aziridines

Abstract

[reaction: see text] The preparation of a range of alkyl and aryl chiral vinyl aziridines was achieved in high yield and stereoselectivity, and with excellent diastereoselectivity, by reaction of tert-butylsulfinylimines with the ylide derived from S-allyl tetrahydrothiophenium bromide.
