Cross-coupling of nonstabilized aziridinylmagnesiums with alkylhalides catalyzed by Cu(I) iodide: a new synthesis of amines bearing a quaternary chiral center and an asymmetric synthesis of both enantiomers of the amines from one chiral starting material
with Pd(OH)2 in alcohol to give the amines bearing a quaternary chiral center in quantitative yields. Synthesis of both enantiomers of the amines bearing a quaternary chiral center was realized starting from optically active (R)-chloromethyl p-tolyl sulfoxide in good overall yields with perfect asymmetricinduction.
