| An effective catalytic methodology for aziridination by reactions of methyl aryldiazoacetates with selected N-aryl benzaldimines catalyzed by rhodium acetate is presented. Reactions were performed in refluxing dichloromethane using only a 10% molar excess of imine. Product yields ranged from 53 – 82%. Aziridination is stereospecific, dependent on the stability of the intermediate azomethine ylide, and in all cases only the E isomer is observed. |
