Reakcje asymetrycznego otwierania pierścienia azyrydyn

Aziridines, the nitrogenous analogues of epoxides, are useful building blocks for the synthesis of various functional materials and biologically active compounds. The reactivity of aziridines toward ring opening and expansion is dependent upon their extremely strained ring structures. Among the procedures of ring opening of aziridines, a nucleophilic ring-opening reaction is one of the major routes to highly functionalized compounds (Scheme 2). This short review focused on essentiac asymmetric ring opening reactions of aziridines including enantioselective ring opening of meso-aziridines and kinetic resolution of racemic aziridines with various hetero and carbon nucleophiles towards the synthesis of highly enantiomerically enriched 1,2-difunctionalized fine chemicals.
