The [Rh2(OAc)4]-catalyzed decomposition of NsN=IPh {[N-(p-nitrobenzenesulfonyl)imino]phenyliodinane} affords aziridines in the presence of olefins and insertion products with compounds having activated CH bonds. The aziridination is stereospecific, and the insertion proceeds with retention of configuration. With chiral Rh(II) complexes, enantioenriched products result. A one-step mechanism involving a metal-complexed nitrene is proposed for both reactions.
