Quinine-catalyzed enantioselective desymmetrization of meso-aziridines with benzenethiols
摘要:
Ring opening of meso-aziridines with benzenethiols utilizing quinine as an organocatalyst has been developed. The reaction proceeded smoothly in the presence of 10 mol % of quinine in CHCl3 to afford beta-amino sulfides in high yields and with moderate to good enantioselectivities. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
