Ring-opening/cyclization represents a classic reaction of bicyclic diaziridines. In this study, an unprecedented ring-opening/migration cascade process was discovered in the reaction between bicyclic diaziridines and donor-acceptor (D-A) cyclopropanes. By employing a chiral ,'-dioxide/scandium(iii) complex as the catalyst, a diverse array of chiral dihydro-1-pyrazoles with a stereocenter in the side chain was efficiently synthesized featuring excellent ee values. Control experiments indicated that the substitution on the D-A cyclopropane is of critical importance in determining the cyclization or migration process. When combined with DFT calculations, a plausible reaction mechanism was proposed, which involves a key transition state. This work presents a novel method for accessing pyrazolines and broadens the scope of diaziridine chemistry.

Transition metal-controlled divergent annulation reactions of azomethine imines with iodonium ylides -centered [1,2]-rearrangement have been developed. The azomethine imino group, as a switchable and transient directing group (DG), underwent intramolecular nucleophilic addition and generated bicyclic diaziridine, which facilitated the -centered [1,2]-rearrangement and subsequent divergent annulations in the presence of different metal complexes as the catalysts. The benzo[]chromen-1-one and pyrano[]isochromene scaffolds could be independently constructed with Rh(III) and Ru(II), respectively.
