Tetrahedron Lett., 1992, 30, 3013 This report suggested that an aziridine could not be formed from (S)-threonine benzyl ester using DTPP. However, we successfully used DTTP to ring close and subsequently N-Boc derivatize the resultant aziridine derived from threonine tert-butyl ester in an unoptimized 34% yield.
