Abstract
Oxidation of the 2-substituted N-amainobenzimidazole (5) in the presence of prochiral alkenes gives aziridines stereoselectively: addition, to γ,γ-dimethyl-α-methylenebutyrolactone is stereospecific and the relative configuration of the two chiral centres in the product has been confirmed by a single crystal X-ray diffraction study and is in agreement with a transition state geometry resembling (11).Keywords
