As a type of readily available small strained-ring heterocycle, -aziridines may undergo catalytic desymmetrizing transformations to empower the rapid construction of diverse nitrogen-containing structures bearing contiguous stereocenters, which have great relevance in natural product synthesis, drug development and the design and synthesis of chiral catalysts/ligands for asymmetric catalysis. This review outlines the advances achieved in the catalytic asymmetric desymmetrization of aziridines and highlights some promising avenues for further work in this realm.
作为一类易于获得的小张力环杂环化合物，氮丙啶可进行催化去对称化转化，以快速构建具有相邻立体中心的多种含氮结构，这在天然产物合成、药物开发以及不对称催化的手性催化剂/配体的设计与合成中具有重要意义。本综述概述了氮丙啶催化不对称去对称化所取得的进展，并突出了该领域进一步研究的一些有前景的方向。
