Practical synthesis of chiral β-telluro amines by ring-opening reaction of aziridines

A set of chiral β-tellurium amines and their selenium and sulfur-containing derivatives have been efficiently synthesized in good to excellent yields via the ring-opening reaction of chiral aziridines by chalcogen nucleophilic species.

A wide range of chiral β-tellurium amines and their chalcogen derivatives were conveniently prepared via the ring-opening reaction of aziridines.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
