Synthesis and Purification of Iodoaziridines Involving Quantitative Selection of the Optimal Stationary Phase for Chromatography

Overview

This article presents a protocol for the diastereoselective one-pot preparation of cis-N-Ts-iodoaziridines. The process involves generating diiodomethyllithium, adding it to N-Ts aldimines, and cyclizing the amino gem-diiodide intermediate to form iodoaziridines.
