Abstract

We report the efficient combination of SNAr and organic Brønsted acid catalysis protocols for the construction of cis-aziridine-derived biaryl and triaryl ethers. Using aza-Darzens chemistry mono-cis-aziridine-biaryl and bis-(cis-aziridine)-triaryl ethers have been generated; these motifs have significant potential as easily synthesised, functionalised precursors of a glycopeptide backbone.
