Org Biomol Chem. 2009 Sep 21;7(18):3792-6. doi: 10.1039/b908322g. Epub 2009 Jul 16.

Abstract

The ring-opening of N-tosylaziridines with silylated nucleophiles catalyzed by tris(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)phosphine (TTMPP) afforded the corresponding beta-functionalized sulfonamides in excellent yield under mild reaction conditions.
