“…261 The same catalytic system (10 mol % LiClO 4 in acetonitrile) is then used for ring-opening of aziridines with many nucleophiles. In this manner, β-amino-sulfides from thiols, β-azido-amines from sodium azide or β-cyano-amines from sodium cyanide are obtained in 82-93%, 262 85-92%, 263 and 80-87% 263 yields, respectively, at reflux temperature. 1,2-Diamines from aromatic amines and β-amino-thiocyanates from potassium thiocyanate are obtained in 83-95% 264 and 75-86% yield, 265 respectively, at room temperature as well.…”
