M.F. Mayer and M.M. Hossain, J. Org. The graph above illustrates the distribution of reactant and products as a function of time in the reaction of N -benzylidene aniline with ethyl diazoacetate. It shows that the reaction is actually not cis -aziridine selective. 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.
