Gold(III) chloride/silver triflate: A highly efficient catalyst for ring-opening reaction of aziridines with electron-rich arenes

Abstract

GoId(III) chloride/silver triflate was found to a highly efficient catalyst in the ring-opening of aziridines with electron-rich arenes and the desired β-arylamines were afforded in good to excellent yields under mild reaction conditions. © 2007 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
