Unexpected transfer of tosyl group of ArCH=NTs-Catalyzed by N-heterocyclic carbene

摘要

Reactions of N-tosylimines with aziridines and electron-deficient unsaturated compounds in the presence of catalytic amount of NHC afforded unexpected tosyl group transfer products in good to high yields, which represent a new reaction pattern for imines as well as for catalysis of NHC.
