title: Catalyst-free aziridination and unexpected homologation of aziridines from imines.
abstract: Aziridination and unpredicted homologation reaction of N-sulfonylimines were achieved easily with a very simple, rapid and mild procedure through the use of diazomethane without the presence of any catalyst. The method represents an attractive alternative to metal-catalyzed processes.
