The trans product preference for vinyl aziridine formation was also noted by Sweeney and co-workers on their studies of an aza-Darzens type reaction of diphenylphosphinyl imines with lithiated allyl bromide in the presence of zinc chloride: Cantrill A.A., Jarvis A.N., Osbourn H.M.I., Ouadi A., Sweeney J.B. Synlett. 1996;847.
12. Hou and Dai also noted a preference for trans vinyl aziridination using aromatic diphenylphosphinyl imines with silylated sulfur ylide substrates: Hou X.-L., Yang X.-F., Dai L.-X., Chen X.-F. Chem. Commun. 1998;747.
