Catalytic asymmetric aziridination of styrene by [N-(p-toluenesulfonyl)imin
o]phenyliodinane was achieved by manganese and iron tetramethylchiroporphyr
ins; opposite enantioselectivities were obtained with the two metal centers
, and possible mechanisms are proposed to explain this unexpected result.
