Organic azides have been increasingly employed as nitrogen sources for catalytic olefine aziridination due to their ease of preparation and generation of benign N2 as the only byproduct. Among common organic azides, carbonyl azides have not been previously demonstrated as effective nitrogen sources for intermolecular olefin aziridination despite the synthetic utilities of N-carbonyl aziridines. As a new application of metalloradical catalysis, we have developed a catalytic system that can effectively employ the carbonyl azide TrocN3 for highly asymmetric aziridination of alkenes at room temperature. The resulting enantioenriched N-Trocaziridines have been shown as valuable chiral synthons for stereoselective synthesis of other chiral aziridines and various chiral amines. The Co(II)-based metalloradical system, which proceeds with distinctive stepwise radical mechanism, may provide a general method for asymmetric synthesis of chiral aziridines from alkenes with organic azides. The carbonyl azide TrocN3 (2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl azide) is a potent nitrogen radical precursor for radical olefin aziridination via Co(II)-based metalloradical catalysis (MRC). The cobalt(II) complex of D2-symmetric chiral amidoporphyrin 3,5-DitBu-QingPhyrin proves to be an efficient catalyst that can activate TrocN3 at room temperature to aziridinate various styrene derivatives, providing chiral N-carbonyl aziridines in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities. The new Co(II)-based catalytic system can even enable asymmetric aziridination of electron-deficient alkenes, such as methyl and ethyl acrylates. In addition to facile removal of Troc group for generation of unprotected aziridines, the resulting N-Troc-aziridines can be effectively opened by different types of nucleophiles to afford a series of chiral amine derivatives with excellent stereospecificity. Several lines of computational and experimental evidence support the underlying stepwise radical mechanism for Co(II)-catalyzed olefin aziridination. This represents the first example of asymmetric intermolecular olefin aziridination that employs carbonyl azides as the nitrogen source. A Co(II)-based system has been developed for enantioselective radical aziridination of alkenes using the carbonyl azide TrocN3 as the nitrogen source. The catalytic system, which operates at room temperature under neutral and nonoxidative conditions, is applicable to both aromatic and electron-deficient olefins and enables the synthesis of N-carbonyl aziridines in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities. The enantioenriched N-carbonyl aziridines have been demonstrated as valuable intermediates for stereoselective organic synthesis. The Co(II)-catalyzed aziridination has been shown to proceed with stepwise radical mechanism.
