title: Diastereoselective synthesis of functionalized pyrrolidines through N-bromosuccinimide-induced aziridine ring expansion cascade of cinnamylaziridine.
abstract: An efficient aziridine ring expansion cascade of cinnamylaziridine has been developed. N-Bromosuccinimide was used as the promoter. The resulting functionalized pyrrolidines are the fundamental units of many useful molecules.
