β¦ Synopsis
The reaction of ethyl dibromofluoroacetate with imines using zinc metal gave 2-fluoroaziridine-2-carboxylates via aza-Darzens reaction of the primary product of the Reformatsky reaction with high diastereoselectivity in excellent yields (quantitative yield and Dr = 85:15). This chemoselective formation of 2-fluoroaziridines was achieved by using CH 3 CN as a solvent. Interestingly, the reaction proceeded without activation of zinc metal, which was necessary for the Reformatsky reaction of bromodifluoroacetate.
None of a-bromo-a-fluoro-b-lactams, four-membered cyclization products, and noncyclized 3-amino-2bromo-2-fluorocarboxylic esters, usual Reformatsky adducts, were formed.

Benzyl aziridine-2-carboxylates have been obtained in high yield and selectivity by conjugate addition of ammonia to ct,13-unsaturated chiral imides followed by treatment with lithium benzyloxide. A ring-expansion of the aziridine to an oxazoline allowed the determination of the absolute stereochemi
