title: A facile reaction of imines with telluronium allylide. Highly stereoselective synthesis of vinylaziridines.
abstract: The reaction of telluronium allylides with alkylimines, generated in situ from alpha-amidoalkyl sulfones, affords cis-alkylvinylarizidines with good stereoselectivity in good yields. However, the same ylides react with N-aryl imines to provide trans-vinylaziridines.
