Yields of aziridine from the iron Lewis acid catalyzed reaction of aryl imines with ethyl diazoacetate. All reactions carried out in CH 2 Cl 2 at rt for 18h. All yields are of pure isolated product and based upon the imine. Yields of aziridine from the iron Lewis acid catalyzed reaction of aryl imines with phenyl diazomethane. All reactions carried out in CH 2 Cl 2 at rt for 18h.
All yields are of pure isolated product and based upon the imine.
Ligands that maintain reduced electron density on the metal center. A rotationally restrained Cp ligand. Asymmetric ligands with steric bulk. Asymmetric metal center. A catalyst that can be analyzed and characterized by a variety of methods in order to provide a handle for sterically and electronically tuning the chiral binding pocket to provide maximum enantioselectivity.
