Abstract
We report the first organocatalytic kinetic resolution of unactivated aziridines by sulfur nucleophiles with excellent enantioselectivity. A suitable chiral phosphoric acid was found to catalyze the intermolecular ring opening under mild conditions, furnishing a range of highly enantioenriched β-amino thioethers and aziridines, both of which are useful synthetic building blocks.
