Heterogeneous Olefin Aziridination Reactions Catalyzed by Polymer‐Bound Tris(triazolyl)methane Copper Complexes

Copper-catalyzed aziridination of allylglycine derivatives

The copper-catalyzed and iodosylbenzene-mediated aziridination of (S)-N-(9phenylfluorenyl)allylglycine tert-butyl ester 10 led to the isolation of the corresponding aziridine 13 in 28% yield (65% based on consumed starting material). The (2S,4S) isomer was preferentially formed with a diastereomeric excess of 36%.

Non-heme iron(II) complexes are efficient olefin aziridination catalysts.

Iron(II) complexes of polydentate nitrogen donor ligands catalyze the rapid aziridination of olefins by PhINTs.

Nitrene transfer reactions catalyzed by gold complexes.

We report here the first gold-catalyzed nitrene transfer reaction. A gold(I) compound, supported by 4,4',4' '-tri-tert-butyl-2,2':6',2' '-terpyridine (tBu3tpy) as the ligand, efficiently catalyzes olefin aziridination with the use of the commercially available oxidant PhI(OAc)2 and sulfonamides. This system also mediates carbene insertion into benzene.

Organic reactions catalyzed by rhenium carbonyl complexes.

Enantioselective and diastereoselective Mukaiyama-Michael reactions catalyzed by bis(oxazoline) copper(II) complexes.

The scope of highly enantioselective and diastereoselective Michael additions of enolsilanes to unsaturated imide derivatives has been developed with use of [Cu((S,S)-t-Bu-box)](SbF6)2 (1a) as a Lewis acid catalyst. The products of these additions are useful synthons that contain termini capable of differentiation under mild conditions. Michael acceptor pi-facial selectivity is consistent with ...
