Manipulation of the oxidation of organic molecules is a cornerstone in chemistry and tremendous progress has been presented both in industry and academia. However, a challenge in oxidation chemistry is the development of greener, more efficient and selective methods.This presentation addresses the development of highly enantioselective catalytic oxaziridination and diaziridination methodologies.Oxaziridines and diaziridines are highly strained heterocyclic compounds showing interesting and unusual reactivities, a remarkable property is that they posses configurationally stable nitrogen atom(s).
