Resumo

A new catalytic aziridination system that consists of cobalt(II) tetraphenylporphyrin [Co(TPP)] as the catalyst and diphenylphosphoryl azide (DPPA) as the nitrene source has been developed. The cobalt-based catalytic system allows direct synthesis of N-phosphorus-substituted aziridines from alkenes with dinitrogen as the byproduct. Cobalt ion seems essential to the catalytic aziridination with DPPA as no or only trace amounts of the desired products were observed with other metal complexes of tetraphenylporphyrin.
