N-arylation of aziridines

J Org Chem. 2003 Mar 7;68(5):2045-7. doi: 10.1021/jo020696+.

Abstract

A range of N-arylaziridines were prepared by the palladium or copper catalyzed amination reaction between N-H aziridines and aryl bromides or arylboronic acids. These results showcase the synthetic utility of metal-bound aziridine species in nitrogen transfer processes.
