Abstract

The reactivity of dianions of carboxylic acids towards aziridines has been studied. Although, a similar reactivity to that of enolates from ketones, esters or amides has been observed, the method directly yields g-aminoacids in one step. The method is complementary of previous results of enenediolate reactivity with other electrophiles. A comparative study with the reactivity of this enediolates with epoxides is included.
Keywords: enediolate; regioselectivity; diastereoselectivity; aziridines; g-aminoacids enediolate; regioselectivity; diastereoselectivity; aziridines; g-aminoacids
