Kinetic resolution of N-acylaziridines by nucleophilic ring opening was achieved with (R)-BINOL as the chiral modifier under boron-catalyzed conditions (see scheme; Ar=3,5-dinitrophenyl). The consumed enantiomer of aziridine can be further converted to an enantioenriched 1,2-chloroamide with recovery of (R)-BINOL.
