The reactions of a variety of N-arylhydroxamates as nitrogen transfer reagents to acryloyl derivatives of (-)-8-phenylmenthol, (-)-quinine and (-)-Oppolzer's sultam acting as Michael acceptors was studied. Poor to modest diastereoselection was observed in the formation of aziridines. The absolute structure of one of the pure diastereomers secured from Oppolzer's auxiliary was established by X-ray crystallography and hence the absolute configuration of the derived methyl-N-phenylaziridine-2-carboxylate could be assigned. Whilst only poor facial selectivity was observed for chiral hydroxamic acid prepared from dehydroabietic acid, moderate to good enantioselection of aziridines could be achieved with the chiral quaternary salts based on cinchona alkaloids, especially with that of cinchonine. A model is presented to explain the origin of enantio selection and a mechanism is proposed for the aziridination reaction. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Substituted N-arylaziridine derivatives were synthesized in an enantioselective manner from N-acyl-N-arylhydroxylamine and electron deficient olefins using chiral phase-transfer catalysts (CPTCs) derived from cinchona alkaloids. The structures of the CPTCs were ascertained through various spectral techniques such as FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectroscopy, as well as elemental analyses. The efficiency and chiral behavior of a range of CPTCs were studied with respect to both yield and ee. The chemical yields were in the range of 24-92% and ee was 29-95%. It was observed that the S-enantiomers were more predominant than the R-enantiomers with cinchonidine as catalyst; whereas the R-enantiomers were more predominant in the case of cinchonine based CPTC. We propose here a suitable mechanism for the formation of chiral aziridines as well as optimized procedures for a range of N-arylaziridine derivatives.
