title: Organocatalytic asymmetric ring-opening of aziridines.
abstract: The organocatalytic ring-opening of N-tosyl protected aziridines by beta-ketoesters under chiral PTC-conditions, leading to the formation of optically active aminoethyl functionalised compounds with up to 99% ee, has been developed.
