title: Rhodium(II)-catalysed tandem aziridination and ring-opening: stereoselective synthesis of functionalised tetrahydrofurans.
abstract: Aziridines formed upon treatment of allylic carbamates and homoallylic sulfamates with Rh(II) carboxylate catalysts under oxidative conditions are trapped by suitably-disposed hydroxyl groups to give functionalised tetrahydrofurans.
