Asymmetric synthesis of 2H-azirine 3-carboxylates.

ABSTRACT: [reaction: see text] Dehydrochlorination of methyl 2-chloroaziridine 2-carboxylates generates the first examples of enantiopure 2-substituted 2H-azirine 3-carboxylates which undergo the aza Diels-Alder reaction with dienes to give bicyclic and tricyclic aziridines in good yields.
