Abstract
By detailed study of the possible side reactions in the previously reported aziridination of alkenes with N-aminoheterocycles mediated by hypervalent iodine reagents, the requirements to make this reaction catalytic in iodoarene have been determined. The reaction requires an oxidant that will oxidise iodoarenes but that does not oxidise alkenes, but it is possible that no such oxidant actually exists! A method in which the hypervalent iodine reagent can be recycled without the need for reisolation is possible. Further study into the mechanism of this reaction gives tentative evidence that the reaction proceeds through formation of an aminoiodane that reacts directly with the alkene, contrary to previous literature reports in which an acetoxyamine intermediate is suggested. The temperature effect of this reaction is remarkable.
