An organocatalytic enantioselective aziridination reaction of alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes including aromatic substrates using N-arenesulfonyloxycarbamates in the presence of diphenylprolinol triethylsilyl ether and sodium carbonate or sodium acetate is described.
Enantioselective synthesis of (R)-Sumanirole using organocatalytic asymmetric aziridination of an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde
Herein we report an enantioselective synthesis of (R)-Sumanirole wherein an organocatalyticasymmetric aziridination of 2-nitrocinnamaldehyde was the key step.
