摘要:
A simple method for the synthesis of chiral 2-substituted aziridine derivatives is described. The reaction pathway consists of the diastereoselective addition of dimethylsulfonium methylide to chiral imines derived from (R)-phenylglycinol and various aldehydes.

The reaction of chiral 2-alkylsubstituted aziridines (1a-d) with acetic acid afforded beta-amino alcohols with an (S)-chiral center at the beta position (with respect to oxygen). In contrast, a reaction of the same chiral aziridines with acetyl chloride followed by treatment with water gave beta-amino alcohols that have an (S)-chiral center at the alpha position. In addition, the reaction of the same chiral aziridines with benzyl bromide followed by treatment with 2% sulfuric acid gave the beta-amino alcohols with an (R)-chiral center at the alpha position. Thus, we could control the regioselectivity and stereoselectivity of the ring-opening reaction of chiral aziridines (1a-d).
