Directed addition of sulfur-stabilised carbanions to 1,2,3-trisubstituted aziridines

Thioether and sulfone-stabilised carbanions possessing varying functional groups enter into highly regioselective, stereospecific ring-opening reactions with vinyl- and hydroxymethyl-substituted aziridines. Some derivatisation reactions of the adducts are reported.
