Aziridines, the smallest nitrogen-containing heterocycles, are useful building blocks in
synthesis, as well as important synthetic targets (Scheme 1). 1 The interest toward synthetic …

Amines are present in a large majority of drugs and drug candidates. Consequently, the
asymmetric synthesis of amine containing compounds represents an extremely important …

Among the variously functionalized aziridines, 1 vinylaziridines and ethynylaziridines are
increasingly being exploited as versatile building blocks in organic synthesis. Compounds of …

Since Ellman's seminal works, over the past ten years tert-butanesulfinimines have proved
to be useful chiral amino intermediates for organic synthesis. Through highly stereoselective …

Aziridines are saturated three-membered heterocycles containing one nitrogen atom. These
compounds are among the most fascinating intermediates in organic synthesis, acting as …

2. Background N-Sulfinyl-imines (sulfinimines) represent an exceptional class of imines. 1, 1
(a), 1 (b), 1 (c), 1 (d), 1 (e), 1 (f), 1 (g) Their widespread application since their inception has …

Three-membered heterocyclic rings offer an uncommon combination of reactivity, synthetic
flexibility, and atom economy. This mini review surveys a selection of the most recent …

By a sidearm approach, camphor-derived sulfur ylides 1 were designed and synthesized for
the cyclopropanation of electron-deficient alkenes and epoxidation of aldehydes. Under the …

1-Azadienes are versatile building blocks for the efficient construction of various N-
heterocycles. Depending on the substitution pattern and reaction partner, they may …

Silver complexes bearing trispyrazolylborate ligands (Tpx) catalyze the aziridination of 2, 4-
diene-1-ols in a chemo-, regio-, and stereoselective manner to give vinylaziridines in high …
