title: Simple, tunable aziridination catalysts based on poly(pyrazolyl)borate-copper complexes.
abstract: [reaction: see text] The in situ generation of a copper-poly(pyrazolyl)borate complex from copper chloride and a sodium poly(pyrazolyl)borate salt results in a catalyst that is effective for the aziridination of olefins. A significant influence of the combination of the starting copper oxidation state and the hapticity of the poly(pyrazolyl)borate ligand on the efficiency of the reaction has been observed.
