Aziridines are important synthetic intermediates for the generation of nitrogen-containing molecules. <i>N</i>-Acylaziridines undergo rearrangement by ring expansion to produce oxazolines, a process known as the Heine reaction. The first catalytic, enantioselective Heine reaction is reported for <i>meso</i>-<i>N</i>-acylaziridines where a palladium(II)-diphosphine complex is employed. The highly enantioenriched oxazoline products are valuable organic synthons and potential ligands for transition ...[more]
