A convenient method for the reduction of 2-acylaziridines, aziridine-2- carboxylates and aziridine-2-carboxamides is described. The reduction of all of the substrates examined was extremely rapid and highly regioselective, giving rise to β-amino carbonyl compounds. This method appears to be general for all of the classes of aziridines mentioned above, and also tolerates a variety of nitrogen protecting groups.
