Mechanism of alkene aziridination in the [(biaryldiimine)Cu-I] catalyst system; precise substrate orientation via two-centre binding

The highly enantioselective (less than or equal to 98%) aziridination of cinnamate esters is achieved using the title catalyst system via a concerted non-polar mechanism involving ancillary binding of carbonyl group to copper.
