Catalytic aziridination with alcoholic substrates via a chromium tetracarbene catalyst

Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: The first examples of aziridination catalysis with a chromium complex are communicated. This tetracarbene chromium complex provides novel catalytic aziridination reactions with protic substrates such as alcohols or amines on the alkene or organic azide and is the most effective catalyst at low alkene loading for aliphatic alkenes to date.
