Ring opening of aziridines with tetranitromethane in the presence of triethylamine. Efficient synthesis of β-tosylamino nitrates

A convenient method for the preparation of β-tosylamino nitrates based on the ring-opening reaction of aziridines by tetranitromethane in the presence of triethylamine is described. A series of substituted β-amino nitrates is obtained in high yields under mild conditions.
