title: Lewis base catalyzed ring opening of aziridines with silylated nucleophiles.
abstract: The ring opening of N-tosylaziridines with trimethylsilylated nucleophiles, catalyzed by N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine, led to the production of beta-functionalized sulfonamides in good to excellent yields with high regioselectivity. [reaction: see text]
