Studies are described that were designed to determine the structure of the active catalyst in the asymmetric catalytic aziridination of imines with ethyl diazoacetate (AZ reaction). Evidence suggests that the active catalyst contains a boroxine ring in which one of the three boron atoms is spiro-fused with the two phenol groups of the VAPOL tigand. B-11 and H-1 NMR evidence supports the boroxinate structure B in which the counterion to the boroxinate is the protonated form of the imine. The boroxinate structure is also supported by two solid state structures of a VAPOL boroxinate in which the gegen cation is tetramethyl ammonium and 4-dimethylaminopyridinium.
