Nucleophilic ring opening of the optically active (1,2-ethanediyl) bis-aziridine 1 is dependent on the reagent and solvent. In aprotic medium cis-2,5-disubstituted pyrrolidines are formed from the opening of the aziridine ring at C-1 followed by intramolecular 5-exo-tet aminocyclization. With hydroxylated reagents in protic media, the opening takes place at C-2, leading to 3-hydroxy substituted piperidines via a 6-exo-tet cyclization process.
