General Syntheses of Optically Active α-Trifluoromethylated Amines via Ring-Opening Reactions of N-Benzyl-2-trifluoromethylaziridine
摘要:
Syntheses of optically active trifluoromethylated amines via ring-opening reactions of optically active N-benzyl-2-trifluoromethylaziridine were achieved. Proton-catalyzed ring-opening reactions of the 2-trifluoromethylaziridine proceeded very smoothly, while the compound was found to be inert toward nucleophiles; thus, the trifluoromethylaziridine itself cannot be ring-opened by nitrogen or carbon nucleophiles. The N-alkylated aziridinium ion of trifiuoromethylaziridine was highly reactive to undergo smooth ring-opening by nitrogen and carbon nucleophiles.
