A facile noncatalytic pathway for the nitrene transfer process: expeditious access to aziridines.
A fast and efficient method has been developed for generation of sulfonyl nitrene from N,N-dibromo-p-toluenesulfonamide (TsNBr(2)) in the presence of a base without any catalyst. This method was applied to produce aziridines from different kinds of olefins within a short time in high yields.
