Abstract
The ring opening of aziridines by pendant sulfamates is a viable strategy for the rapid preparation of vicinal diamines. Our reaction is compatible with both disubstituted cis- and trans-aziridines; unsubstituted, N-alkyl, and N-aryl sulfamates engage effectively. In all cases examined, the cyclization reaction is perfectly regioselective and stereospecific. Once activated, the product oxathiazinane heterocycles can be ring opened with a diverse range of nucleophiles.
