Key Points

Halogen bond activation enables efficient ring opening of aziridines, fostering new synthetic methods.
The study presents a novel non-covalent organocatalytic approach, reducing reliance on harsh Lewis acids.
Results show that N-heterocycles can be produced in higher yields compared to traditional catalysts.
This research opens avenues for advances in catalytic design and N-heterocycle synthesis.

Implication

This work demonstrates that halogen bonds can activate aziridines in cycloadditions, suggesting new pathways for synthesizing N-heterocycles.

Abstract

The ring opening of aziridines to produce various N-heterocycles traditionally requires strong Lewis acids or transition metal catalysts, with non-covalent organocatalytic approaches remaining largely unexplored. Herein, we demonstrate that Nheterocyclic...
