Catalytic asymmetric aza-Darzens reaction with a vaulted biphenanthrol magnesium phosphate salt

摘要

Chemical equations presented. Conditions for a catalytic asymmetric aza-Darzens aziridine synthesis mediated by a vaulted biphenanthrol (VAPOL) magnesium phosphate salt is described. Using simple substrates, this methodology explores the scope and reactivity of a new magnesium catalyst for an aziridination reaction capable of building chirality and complexity simultaneously.
