trans-1,2-Disubstituted diaziridines form stable enantiomers at ambient conditions because of the two stereogenic pyramidal nitrogen atoms. Functionalized trans-1,2-disubstituted diaziridines can be utilized as a chiral switching moiety between two enantiomeric states in more complex molecular structures. However, the synthesis of functionalized diaziridines is quite challenging, because of the limited tolerance of reaction conditions that can be applied. Here we present a strategy to make trans-1,2-disubstituted diaziridines accessible as versatile building blocks in C-C-bond formations, i.e., the Heck reaction, and therefore introducing aryl substituents. The synthesis of trans-1,2-dialkenyl diaziridines with terminal alkenyl substituents and their stereodynamic properties are described.

Amines, hydrazines, and nitrogen-containing heterocycles are pivotal species in medicine, agriculture, fine chemicals, and materials. Diazirines have been recently reported to serve as versatile electrophilic amination reagents for the synthesis of building blocks or late-stage C-N bond formation. Here, we report the catalytic photodecarboxylative amination of carboxylic acids with diazirines under mild conditions.

Nitrogen-containing compounds, such as amines, hydrazines, and heterocycles, play an indispensable role in medicine, agriculture, and materials. Alkylated derivatives of these compounds, especially in sterically congested environments, remain a challenge to prepare. Here we report a versatile method for the regioselective hydroamination of readily available unactivated olefins with diazirines.

The coupling of diaziridines with donor-acceptor aziridines (DAAs) has been achieved using Zn-catalysis to furnish imidazopyrazole-4,4-dicarboxylates [1,4]-hydride shift. The use of Zn-catalysis, [1,4]-hydride shift, natural product modification and a late-stage molecular docking study are important practical features.
