Palladium-catalyzed allylic substitution between C-based nucleophiles and 6-azabicyclo[3.1.0]-hex-3-en-2-oxy derivatives: A new selectivity paradigm. Tetrahedron [Internet]. 18 de dezembro de 2020;76(51):131182.

In all the cases studied, the reaction was totally regio- and diastereo-selective, affording a single adduct in moderate to good yields. Specifically, attack of the nucleophile at position 3 of the cyclopentene moiety, anti to the vicinal oxy group, with vinylogous ring opening of the aziridine ring, was observed. When the carbon acid is a very acidic methylene (pKa (DMSO) ≤ 7.3), the resulting adduct is a zwitterion, resulting from an intramolecular proton transfer between the amino group and the carbon acid moiety taking place after the C–C bond formation. A plausible mechanism for this transformation is put forward.engPalladium catalysisBicyclic aziridineTsuji-trost reactionjournal article2023-02-23cv-prod-175843810.1016/j.tet.2020.131182
