Abstract

Due to the strain associated with three-membered rings, epoxides and aziridines react with various nucleophiles to give 1,2-difunctionalized products. This makes them valuable intermediates in organic synthesis, including in the synthesis of bioactive natural and nonnatural compounds. This chapter summarizes recent advances in metal-catalyzed epoxidation and aziridination reactions of alkenes, as well as their synthetic applications.
