Cleavage of N-tosyl group
« on: August 30, 2010, 02:41:56 PM »
Has anyone done one of these for an N-tosyl aziridine? Is it possible? Any help appreciated :)

KOH in EtOH. Stirring at room temperature should do the job.

I have found an even better procedure which is suitable for aziridines:

Organic Letters 2009, pages 503-506

The procedure is as follows (very simple): dissolve 1equiv. of the tosylamide THF. Add Water (18equiv.) and pyrrolidine (12equiv.). Then add samarium diiodide (SmI2, 6equiv.) and stir at room temperature. Reactions are finished within SECONDS!
