A copper(I) complex with thiacalix[3]pyridine, [Cu-(Py3S 3)]2(PF6)2, is a competent catalyst for aziridination of olefins. The reaction of styrene (1 equiv) with PhI=NTs (1 equiv) at 20°C produced N-(p-toluenesulfonyl)-2-phenylaziridine (71%, turnover number = 55) in the presence of 1.2 mol% catalyst under aerobic conditions. The turnover number increased up to 350 with a 0.12 mol % catalyst and a 5:1 styrene/PhI=NTs ratio in 41% yield. Copyright
