atom-efficient nitrenetransfer reagents in the (porphyrin)ruthenium-catalyzed amination of olefins. Several azides, olefins and [Ru(porphyrin)CO] complexes were tested to investigate the scope and limits of the reaction. Quantitative yields and short reaction times were achieved by using terminal olefins and aryl azides bearing electron-withdrawing groups on the aryl moiety. The reactions were influenced
TPPH2/TBACl‐catalyzed (TPPH2=dianion of tetraphenyl porphyrin; TBACl=tetrabutyl ammonium chloride) carbon dioxide cycloaddition to N‐aryl aziridines was successful in synthesizing N‐aryl oxazolidin‐2‐ones. A catalytic tandem reaction was also developed, in which N‐aryl aziridines were initially synthesized and then reacted with carbon dioxide without being purified. The procedure occurred with a very
