Enantioselective ring opening of meso aziridines catalyzed by Tridentate Schiff base chromium(III) complexes.
[formula: see text] A catalytic method for the enantioselective ring opening of meso aziridines by TMSN3 is described. Tridentate Schiff base chromium complexes derived from 1-amino-2-indanol were identified as the optimal catalysts.
