One-carbon homologation of N-sulfonylaziridines to allylic amines using dimethylsulfonium methylide.

Hodgson DM, Fleming MJ, Stanway SJ

[reaction: see text]. Regio- and stereodefined allylic N-sulfonylamines are synthesized in high yields and under experimentally straightforward conditions by reaction of N-sulfonylaziridines with excess dimethylsulfonium methylide.
