Abstract

We developed an efficient fluorination protocol that converts easily accessible aziridines into beta-fluoroamines, which are important motifs in biologically active molecules. In contrast with traditional fluorination approaches, DMPU-HF has shown both higher reactivity and regioselectivity and good functional group tolerance; thus, a wide scope of beta-fluoroamines can now be accessed conveniently. The stereochemical behavior of the ring opening depends on the substitution pattern of the aziridine substrate. (AU)
