Abstract

The reported β-amino sulfide structures for the products in the ZnCl2-catalyzed ring-opening reactions of 1-benzyl-2-phenyl­aziridine with thiols should be revised to 2-amino-1-phenylethyl sulfides from 2-amino-2-phenylethyl sulfides.

Key words

structural revision - β-amino sulfide - ring-opening - 1-benzyl-2-phenylaziridine - thiol - ZnCl2
