Abstract

Aminimines derived in situ from a number of enantiomerically pure binaphthalene-based tertiary amines have been used for the asymmetric aziridination of chalcone, providing N-unprotected aziridines with ee values of up to 43%. A chiral hydrazinium salt has been isolated for the first time and shown to provide similar yield and enantioselectivity to the in situ process in reaction with chalcone.
