34. We have shown that N-sulfonylimine-based aziridination is applicable to either semistable (including allylic, propargylic, and benzylic), reactive (simple alkyl ylides), and stabilized ylides (substituted with electron-withdrawing groups). Other reactive imines and activation methods of common imines also undergo this aziridination reaction.
