32. A reviewer brought to our attention that nosyl aziridines have been studied extensively and have been found to be more reactive than their tosyl counterparts with excellent regioselectivity with monosubstituted aziridines. However, to the best of our knowledge, phenols and phenolates were not tested as nucleophiles in these systems. Maligres, P. E.; See, M. M.; Askin, D.; Reider, P. J. Tetrahedron Lett. 1997, 38, 5253.
