Nanocrystalline zinc peroxide mediated unprecedented nitrene transfer: an expeditious access to N-tosylaziridines†
Abstract
An unprecedented zinc peroxide (ZnO2) assisted synthetic strategy is reported for the synthesis of N-tosylaziridines from NTs) as a nitrene transfer reagent under mild reaction conditions. The reaction of zinc peroxide with Ph3P
NTs yielded a zinc oxaziridine intermediate which subsequently reacts with
