A thorough study was performed on the catalyst diversity in the five-component catalytic asymmetric aziridination reaction mediated by boroxinate catalysts prepared from vaulted ligands, imines, borane, water, and various alcohols or phenols.  A diversified family of catalysts have been generated and examined by altering one or more of the five components. Furthermore, these modified catalysts help to give an insight into the aziridination mechanism in terms of the role played by the alcohol in the substrate-catalyst binding.
