Enantioselective ring opening of meso aziridines catalyzed by Tridentate Schiff base chromium(III) complexes

Org Lett. 1999 Nov 18;1(10):1611-3. doi: 10.1021/ol990992h.

Abstract

[formula: see text] A catalytic method for the enantioselective ring opening of meso aziridines by TMSN3 is described. Tridentate Schiff base chromium complexes derived from 1-amino-2-indanol were identified as the optimal catalysts.
