When the aziridinium ion is formed the ring becomes sufficiently reactive to be attacked by the carbon nucleophile as shown in the CuOTf catalyzed alkynylation of activated aziridines reported in the literature. Ding, C.-H.; Dai, L.-X.; Hou, X-.L. Synlett 2004, 1691. Due to the low solubility of the aziridinium ion at 0 °C, there is a limitation to the solvent to be used. Among them dioxane was the best for most reactions
