Abstract

A highly regioselective SN2-type ring opening of 2-aryl-N-tosylaziridines with carbonyl compounds in the presence of a Lewis acid to afford various 1,3-oxazolidines and 1,2-amino alcohols in excellent yields and moderate to high enantioselectivity is described. The formation of non-racemic products provides convincing evidence for the SN2-type ring opening mechanism.
