Kg. Rasmussen et Ka. Jorgensen, CATALYTIC FORMATION OF AZIRIDINES FROM IMINES AND DIAZOACETATE, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (14), 1995, pp. 1401-1402
A catalytic method for the preparation of aziridines from imines and d
iazoacetate is developed using copper complexes as catalyst; the synth
etic, diastereo- and enantio-selective scope of the reaction are prese
nted.
