Abstract
In the presence of β-cyclodextrin a variety of N -tosyl aziridines undergo ring-opening by thiophenols to afford the corresponding β-amino thiophenols in high yields with good regioselectivity.
Key words
aziridines - β-cyclodextrin - water - thiophenols - biomimetic - β-aminothiophenols

General Procedure: β-CD (1 mmol) was dissolved in H2 O (15 mL) and heated to 60 °C until a clear solution was formed. Then aziridine (1 mmol), dissolved in acetone (1 mL), was added drop-wise and the mixture allowed to react 50 °C. Thiophenol (1 mmol) was then added and the reaction mixture was stirred for 12 h at this temperature. The reaction mixture was extracted with EtOAc, dried, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (mesh 60-120) with EtOAc-hexane (1.2:8.8) as eluent.
