Benzyl aziridine-2-carboxylates have been obtained in high yield and selectivity by conjugate addition of ammonia to α,β-unsaturated chiral imides followed by treatment with lithium benzyloxide. A ring-expansion of the aziridine to an oxazoline allowed the determination of the absolute stereochemistry for the newly formed stereogenic centres.

Abstract
Benzyl aziridine-2-carboxylates have been obtained in high yield and selectivity by conjugate addition of ammonia to α,β-unsaturated chiral imides followed by treatment with lithium benzyloxide. A ring-expansion of the aziridine to an oxazoline allowed the determination of the absolute stereochemistry for the newly formed stereogenic centres.File in questo prodotto:
