Efficient Synthesis of α,β-Diamino Acid Derivatives by In(III)-Catalyzed Regioselective Addition of Amines to Aziridines

Abstract

An efficient catalytic method for the synthesis of α, β-diamino acid derivatives has been developed via regioselective ring opening of aziridines by amines in the presence of indium(III) salt under very mild reaction conditions.
