Abstract

Under acidic reaction conditions (TFA), deprotection of BocNR(OSO<sub>2</sub> R) reagents triggers intermolecular aminative cyclizations of alkenes equipped with pendant nucleophiles. The processes are predicated on a sequence of stereospecific intermolecular aza-Prilezhaev aziridination followed by stereospecific S<sub>N</sub> 2-like opening by the pendant nucleophile. The method offers broad scope with respect to the nucleophile (N-, O- or C-based), alkene and cyclization mode, allowing the installation of two contiguous stereocenters under operationally simple conditions.
