An improved protocol for regioselective ring opening of aziridines with tetrabutylammonium halides using ammonium-12-molybdophosphate as a catalyst
Regioselective ring opening of azitidines with tetrabutylammonium halides to form the corresponding beta-haloamines has efficiently been carried out at room temperature using ammonium-12-molybdophosphate as a catalyst. The products are formed in excellent yields within a short period of time. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
