Zirconium Tetrachloride Mediated Regioselective Transformation of N-tosylaziridines into β-chlorosulfonamides 1

Abstract

Regioselective ring opening of N-tosylaziridines has efficiently been carried out with ZrCl₄ at room temperature to afford the corresponding β-chlorosulfonamides in high yields within a short reaction time.

Keywords
