Lithiation-induced migrations from nitrogen to carbon in terminal aziridines.

(Chemical Equation Presented) Benefiting from deprotection: Lithium 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide induces N-Boc or N-phosphonate terminal aziridines to undergo regio- and stereoselective N-to-C migration of the protecting group, giving synthetically valuable trans-aziridinylesters and trans- aziridi...
