Abstract

Several simple and convenient transformations of imines and aziridines under mild conditions have been developed, rendering access to several kinds of β-amino derivatives, α-amino nitriles and phosphonates, aziridines, and conjugated dienes from imines and aziridines under neutral and metal-free conditions very conveniently. High stereoselectivities are realized in most reactions based upon mechanistic considerations.
