Highly asymmetric cobalt-catalyzed aziridination of alkenes with trichloroethoxysulfonyl azide (TcesN3)

Velusamy Subbarayan, Joshua V. Ruppel, Shifa Zhu, Jason A. Perman and X. Peter Zhang

A Co(II)-based catalytic system has been developed for asymmetric aziridination of alkenes with trichloroethoxysulfonyl azide (TcesN3) under mild conditions, forming the corresponding N-Tces-aziridines in high yields and excellent enantioselectivities.
