title: Ring opening and expansion of aziridines in a silica-water reaction medium.
abstract: Ring-opening reactions of N-tosylaziridines with water-soluble nucleophiles proceeded in a silica-water reaction medium. The system is applicable to a ring expansion of an aziridine with potassium thiocyanate, leading to a thiazolidine derivative.
