摘要
Cyclohexene N-p-toluenesulfonylimine (1) undergoes enantioselective ring opening to 2b upon treatment with methylmagnesium halides or MeLi in the presence of chiral Cu catalysts. No activation of the aziridine by Lewis acid is required. Enantioselectivities of up to 91% have been observed under optimized conditions with the chiral imine ligand derived from phenylalanine. The same system reacts with cyclohexene oxide to afford trans-2-methylcyclohexanol with 50% yield and 10% ee.
