Before we could begin work on our target reaction, we had to devise a way to access the starting materials (Scheme 2). There are many excellent protocols for the syntheses of aziridines. Fortunately, many of these are compatible with the alkenyl silanol (Scheme 2A), and the majority of our substrates were prepared using Sharpless, Sudalai, Che, or Kürti reactions. We have also found that the combination of (t-Bu)2Si(OTf)2 (1.5 equiv.) and 2,6-lutidine (3 equiv.) allows for silanol attachment to aziridine alcohols (Scheme 2B).
