Palladium-catalyzed highly regio- and stereoselective carbon–carbon bond formation reaction of γ-substituted vinylaziridines with a silylated masked acyl cyanide reagent
Highly regio- and stereoselectivecarbon–carbonbondformationreaction of vinylaziridines using a masked acyl cyanide reagent possessing a tert-butyldimethylsilyl group occurred in the presence of a catalytic amount of palladium complex in excellent yield. It is considered that these excellent selectivities are the result of three simultaneous conditions, strained leaving group, small nucleophile
