✦ Synopsis
This account of research work on nucleophilic ring opening (NRO) of aziridines (Az's) demonstrates the broad synthetic scope of this reaction, inclusive secondary reactions, and it discusses the special mechanistic fundamentals and details as well as mechanistic variants. Formation of a C-C bond by NRO is the red thread in this report. A central mechanistic aspect is the quality of the leaving group in Az bases, Scheme 1 Nucleophilic Ring Opening of three-membered Rings

The ease of access to functionalized oxabicyclic ring systems renders them attractive starting points for chemical synthesis. [1] Their strategic incorporation in a synthesis can lead to considerable simplification of the route to a given target and provide key building blocks for asymmetric synthes
The development of processable high molecular weight polymers with skeletal transition metal atoms represents a synthetic challenge that, if overcome, can be expected to yield a variety of materials with novel electrical, optical, magnetic, or preceramic properties. Recent work has shown that the ri
