Abstract

A fast and efficient method has been developed for generation of sulfonyl nitrene from N, N- dibromo-p-toluenesulfonamide (TsNBr2) in the presence of a base without any catalyst. This method was applied to produce aziridines from different kinds of olefins within a short time in high yields.
