BF3·OEt2-Mediated Highly Regioselective SN2-Type Ring-Opening of N-Activated Aziridines and N-Activated Azetidines by Tetraalkylammonium Halides
摘要:
A highly regioselective Lewis acid-mediated S(N)2-type ring-opening of N-sulfonylaziridines and azetidines with tetraalkylammonium halides in CH2Cl2 solution to afford 1,2- and 1,3-haloamines in excellent yields is described. An easy diastereoselective route toward substituted chiral N-tosylaziridines has been developed. The mechanism of ring-opening via S(N)2 pathway has been confirmed by the formation of chiral haloamines with excellent er and dr. Chloroamines obtained from 2,3-disubstituted aziridines were converted to the chiral N-tosylamines via radical dehalogenation.

Catalytic asymmetric chloride and bromide ring openings of meso aziridines with trimethylsilyl halides have been developed using modular chiral 1,2,3-triazolium chlorides as catalysts. Control experiments suggest the reaction pathway involving hypervalent silicate ions as reactive intermediates. The application of this system to the efficient kinetic resolution of terminal aziridines is also reported.
