The stereochemistry of aziridine borane lithiation: diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity
摘要:
Lithiation of 1-methylaziridine borane, 1-(tert-butyldimethylsiloxyethyl)aziridine borane, or 1-(tert-butyldimethylsiloxyethyl)-2-methylaziridine borane occurs syn to the boron substituent, while lithiation of 1-(tert-butyldimethylsiloxyethyl)-2-trimethylstannylaziridine borane occurs anti to boron as well as silicon due to the steric effect of trimethylsilyl group (s-butyllithium was used in all cases). Kinetically controlled lithiation in the first three cases results from a combination of steric and electrostatic effects. Enantioselective lithiation occurs in the presence of (-)-sparteine, with product enantioselectivities near 70% ee. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Imidazolium-2-carboxylates derived from N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) and CO2 serve as efficient catalysts for CO2-carboxylation of tertiary aziridines bearing various substituents such as halogens, ether, olefin, ester, acetal, and nitro groups on the aziridine ring in 2-propanol, leading to 3-substituted-2-oxazolidones in good to excellent yields and with high selectivity. The NHC–CO2 adducts facilitate
[reaction: see text]. Cycloaddition of aziridines with isocyanates proceeded smoothly in the presence of a nickel catalyst, and five iminooxazolidine derivatives were isolated in good yields. The best result was obtained when the reaction was carried out in the presence of NiI2, and a longer reaction time allowed the isomerization of the iminooxazolidine to the corresponding imidazolidinone derivatives
