A second-generation aziridination catalyst supported by a borate-based dianionic macrocyclic tetracarbene ligand has been synthesized. The new macrocyclic tetracarbene iron(II) complex catalyzed the aziridination of alkyl azides and aliphatic alkenes showcasing the first fully aliphatic version of this C-2 + N-1 reaction. High isolated yields were obtained when no functional groups were present on the organic azides and alkenes, while modest yields were achieved when nonprotic functional groups were included. Even multiple functional groups can be added to the azide and alkene fragments to produce the most complex aziridines yet synthesized by this C-2 + N-1 catalytic reaction. The catalyst generated higher yields for aziridination with aryl azides and alkenes than the previously reported catalyst, [((TCPh)-T-Me,Et)Fe(NCCH3)(2)](PF6)(2). The contrast is particularly apparent with functionalized aryl azides where the second-generation catalyst now provides practical yields for synthetic chemistry. Finally, catalytic intramolecular aziridination was investigated since many natural products with aziridines feature bicyclic tertiary aziridines. For five- and six-membered rings, the bicyclic aziridines were formed catalytically, in contrast to previously studied catalyzed and uncatalyzed reactions.

Synthesis and Reaction of 1-Azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane
The effective formation of 1-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane (5) by treatment of 2-(bromomethyl)pyrrolidine hydrobromide (4) with n-BuLi was established, with the reaction occurring by a rational reaction pathway via the open chain transition state 8 based on intermolecular Br...Li(+) coordination (SN2 process). The reaction of 5 with electrophiles 13a-n gave the corresponding pyrrolidines 14a-n and piperidine
