Hypoiodite-mediated metal-free catalytic aziridination of alkenes

Abstract

Look, no metal: A metal-free catalytic procedure for aziridination of alkenes using tetrabutylammonium iodide as the catalyst, m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (mCPBA) as the terminal oxidant, and N-aminophthalimide as the nitrenium precursor has been developed (see scheme; right: X-ray structure of one of the products). Control experiments suggests that the active oxidant is in situ generated hypoiodous acid (HIO).
