title: Applications of aziridinium ions. Selective syntheses of beta-aryl-alpha,beta-diamino esters.
abstract: [formula: see text] alpha,beta-Diamino esters are readily prepared through stereospecific and regioselective opening of an aziridinium ion intermediate with a variety of amines. The aziridinium ion is generated from the epoxide in two steps.
