Asymmetric synthesis of terminal N-tert-butylsulfinyl aziridines from organoceriums and an alpha-chloroimine.
Addition of N-(2-chloroethylidene)- tert-butylsulfinamide to organocerium reagents in DMPU/THF (1:10) at -78 degrees C followed by warming to 25 degrees C provides terminal N-tert-butylsulfinyl aziridines in good yields (63-92%, nine examples) and diastereomeric ratios (85:15- >99:1).
