Abstract::
We describe herein the ring-opening reaction of chiral 1,1’-sulfonyl bis-aziridines with various neutral and anionic nucleophiles, including benzylamine, piperidine, acetate, allyl thiolate, cyanide anion, and sodium ethoxide. These reactions afforded bis-opened or/and mono-opened compounds via a regioselective attack on the non-substituted methylene of aziridine ring. The structures of the products were confirmed based on spectral analysis (IR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR). A theoretical study involving density fun… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
