either the (R) or (S) enantiomer of a BOROX catalyst, a multicomponent reaction of this aldehyde with an amine and ethyl diazoacetate gives rise to enantiomeric aziridine-2-carboxylates. Access to all diastereomers of sphinganine is realized upon ring opening of the enantiopure aziridine-2-carboxylate at the C-3 position by direct SN2 attack of an oxygen nucleophile, which occurs with inversion of configuration

The first multicomponent catalytic asymmetric aziridination reaction is developed to give aziridine-2-carboxylic esters with very high diastereo- and enantioselectivity from aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes. This new method pushes the boundary of the aziridination reaction to substrates that failed with preformed imines.
