Stereoselective Lewis Acid Mediated (3+2) Cycloadditions of N-H- and N-Sulfonylaziridines with Heterocumulenes

Abstract

Alkyl and aryl isothiocyanates and carbodiimides are effective substrates in (3+2) cycloadditions with N-sulfonyl-2-substituted aziridines and 2-phenylaziridine for the synthesis of iminothiazolidines and iminoimidazolidines. Additionally, the stereoselective (3+2) cycloaddition of N-H- and N-sulfonylaziridines with isothiocyanates can be accomplished, allowing for the synthesis of highly enantioenriched iminothiazolidines. Evidence for an intimate ion-pair mechanism is presented herein in the context of these chemo-, regio-, and diastereoselective transformations. The demonstrated ability to remove the sulfonyl group from the heterocyclic products displays the utility of these compounds for further derivatization and application.
