(equation presented) Olefinic primary sulfonamides were treated with iodebenzene diacetate and potassium hydroxide in methanol to give intermediate iminoiodinanes. Catalytic copper(I) or (II) triflate then provided intramolecular nitrene delivery leading to aziridene formation except in one case where a rare copper-catalyzed C-H insertion was observed. The aziridines could be opened by various nucleophiles (methanol, thiophenol, allylmagnesium bromide, benzylamine) to give the corresponding substituted cyclic sulfonamides.

The aziridination of olefins with {(4- nitrophenylsulfonyl)imino}phenyl-λ3-iodane, NsN=IPh (1c), in the presence of [Rh2(OAc)4] proceeds in yields of up to 85% when the olefin is used in large excess. Under optimized conditions, styrene (4a) is aziridinated with 1 equiv. of NsN=IPh (1c) in 64% yield with 2 mol% of catalyst. The aziridines derived from electron-rich olefins undergo ring-opening under the conditions of the aziridination and afford rearrangement products or pyrrolidines. The aziridination is sterospecific with 1,2-dialkyl- and 1,2-arylalkyl- disubstituted olefins, but nonstereospecific with stilbene. The ρ-value for aziridination of substituted styrenes iS -0.61. No ring-opened products are observed upon aziridination of vinylcyclopropanes. In the presence of chiral Rh(II) catalysts, the aziridination is enantioselective, affording an ee of 73% with cis-β-methylstyrene (4k) and Pirrungs [Rh2{(R)-(-)-bnp}4] catalyst. The experimental results are consistent with a one-step mechanism for transfer of the nitrenoid moiety from the catalyst to the olefin.
