Asymmetric radical additions of trialkylboranes to 2H-azirine-3-carboxylates.
Asymmetric additions of alkyl radicals, generated from R3B, to chiral 2H-azirine-3-carboxylates offer a new entry to enantio-enriched aziridines, and proceed with high diastereoselectivity when using 8-phenylmenthol as chiral auxiliary.
