Chem Commun (Camb). 2009 Jul 28:(28):4266-8. doi: 10.1039/b905727g. Epub 2009 Jun 11.

Abstract

A Co(II)-based catalytic system has been developed for asymmetric aziridination of alkenes with trichloroethoxysulfonyl azide (TcesN3) under mild conditions, forming the corresponding N-Tces-aziridines in high yields and excellent enantioselectivities.
