title: Amine-promoted, organocatalytic aziridination of enones.
abstract: A novel method is presented using N-N ylides (prepared by in situ amination of a tertiary amine) for the aziridination of a range of enone systems. The amine may be used sub-stoichiometrically, and promising levels of enantioselectivity are observed with quinine as promoter. [reaction: see text].
