Aziridines are important synthetic Intermediates which readily undergo ring-opening reactions. It is demonstrated that electron-rich phosphines are efficient catalysts for the regioselective rearrangement of N-acylaziridines to oxazolines. The reactions occur in excellent yield under neutral conditions. Evidence is provided for an addition/elimination mechanism by generation of a phosphonium intermediate. Similar intermediates may be useful for the development of alternate aziridine ring-opening processes and stereoselective synthesis with enantiopure phosphines.
β-Chloroamine hydrochlorides, produced stereospecifically and regiospecifically from aziridines with anhydrous hydrogen chloride in ether, are condensed with sodium carbonate in dry DMSO to afford isomerically pure 2-oxazolidinones.

beta-Hydroxyalkyl aryl chalcogenides obtained by regioselective ring-opening of epoxides with benzeneselenolate or -tellurolate were found to undergo efficient hetero-Michael addition when treated with ethyl propiolate. Subsequent carbonylation/reductive cyclization of the resulting vinylogous carbonates in the presence of AIBN/TTMSS and carbon monoxide (80 atm) afforded 2,5-disubstituted tetrahydrofuran-3-ones, predominantly as cis isomers (cis/trans = 4/1-9/1). Starting from a polymer-supported diaryl diselenide, the methodology was also successfully extended to solid-phase synthesis. Vinylogous carbamates prepared by hetero-Michael addition of aziridines to electron-deficient alkynes were regioselectively ring-opened with benzeneselenolate from the sterically least hindered side. Radical carbonylation/reductive cyclization of the resulting N-vinyl-beta-amino-alkyl phenyl selenides afforded 2,5-disubstituted pyrrolidin-3-ones, predominantly as cis isomers (cis/trans = 3/1-12/1).
