Alkenes to aziridines

Electrophilic nitrogen compounds, such as arenesulfonyloxyamines, can convert alkenes to aziridines without the intervention of free nitrenes (80CC560). 

Electrophilic nitrogen compounds, such as arenesulfonyloxyamines, can convert alkenes to aziridines without the intervention of free nitrenes (80CC560). The ylide Ph2S+-NH adds stereospecifically to E and Z conjugated alkenes, and chiral sulfimides can transfer chirality to the aziridines formed (80T73). These reactions are often named aziridinations .
