Aziridines as intermediates in diversity-oriented syntheses of alkaloids.

ABSTRACT: The efficient synthesis of small molecules that collectively comprise optimal small-molecule screening collections is an important goal. With this in mind, we have used N-alkyl aziridines in a regio- and stereochemically controlled synthesis of polycyclic heterocycles based on nucleophilic ring opening and subsequent intramolecular cyclization.
