Rapid generation of molecular complexity using “hybrid” multi-component reactions (MCRs): application to the synthesis of α-amino nitriles and 1,2-diamines†
Abstract
Methyleneaziridines can be converted into a wide range of 1,2-diamines and 2-cyanopiperidines in a single operation with the formation of three intermolecular carbon–carbon bonds using a “hybrid” MCR.
