Abstract

Aziridines undergo ring opening readily with various thiols in the presence of 5 mol% bismuth triflate under very mild reaction conditions to afford the corresponding β-aminosulfides in excellent yields with high regioselectivity.

Key words

aziridines - metal triflates - thiols - β-aminosulfides
