Js. Yadav et al., Indium trihalide mediated regioselective ring opening of aziridines: A facile synthesis of 2-haloamines, SYNLETT, (9), 2001, pp. 1417-1418
A variety of N-tosyl aziridines undergo ring opening with indium trihalides
in acetonitrile at ambient temperature to afford the corresponding haloami
nes in excellent yields with high regioselectivity.
