The introduction of nitrogen across alkenes for the synthesis of aziridines is a very important reaction in organic chemistry. Despite the large number of available methods, very few rely on well-defined metal complexes as the active delivery agent. Our group is interested in inventing new chemical reactions by exploiting the chemical properties of stable metallooxaziridines. These efforts have allowed for the development of catalytic reaction conditions for the steoreselective synthesis of aziridines. Efforts for the development of chiral metallooxaziridines for the enantioselective version of this reaction are in progress.
