acceptor molecules of interest. Specifically, a wide range of structurally dissimilar olefins can be transformed into the corresponding aziridines in the presence of N-aminophthalimide. Likewise, nitrenegeneration in the presence of sulfoxides leads to their chemoselective transformation into the corresponding sulfoximines. In this paper we discuss the underlying mechanistic foundation of these reactions
