Reaction of sulfur ylides with a series of aryl substituted chiral nonracemic sulfinyl imines afforded the corresponding aziridines in good yields with good stereoselectivity. The sulfur ylides were generated by the thermally induced decarboxylation of carboxymethylsulfonium betaines. A drop in the diastereomeric ratio was observed when going from electron-deficient to electron-releasing aryl substituted imines. S-Methylene aziridinations involving the decarboxylation of carboxymethylsulfonium betaine functionality complements existing technologies with the advantages of the reaction protocol, levels of conversion, and scope.
