Syn- thesis of Optically Pure trans-Aziridines. — LiN(Tms) 2 -mediated treatment of the sulfonium salt (I) with sulfinylimines results in stereoselective formation of aziridines. With (R)-sulfinylimines moderate cis/trans-selectivity and excellent facial diastereose- lectivity is achieved, while with (S)-sulfinylimines excellent trans-selectivity but low facial diastereoselectivity is observed. The reaction mainly proceeds via planar free carbanion which has strong influence on the stereoselective outcome. — (ARROYO, Y.; MEANA, A.; RODRIGUEZ, J. F.; SANZ-TEJEDOR*, M.
