title: Metal-free aziridination of styrene derivatives with iminoiodinane catalyzed by a combination of iodine and ammonium iodide.
abstract: The metal-free catalytic aziridination of styrene derivatives with N-tosyliminophenyliodinane (PhI=NTs) in the presence of a combination of I2 and tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI) is reported. In situ generated TBAI3 from I2 and TBAI dramatically promotes the reaction of alkenes with N,N-diiodotosylamide, which is formed in situ.
