The active site in the BOROX catalyst is a chiral polyborate anion (boroxinate) that is assembled in situ from three equivalents of B(OPh) 3 and one of the VANOL ligand by a molecule of substrate. The substrates are bound to the boroxinate by Hbonds to oxygen atoms O1-O3. The effects of introducing substituents at each position of the naphthalene core of the VANOL ligand are systematically investigated in an aziridination reaction. Substituents in the 4,4′- and 8,8′-positions have a negative effect on catalyst performance, whereas, substituents in the 7- and 7′-positions have the biggest impact in a positive direction. VANOL destination: The active site in the BOROX catalyst is a chiral polyborate anion (boroxinate; see figure) that is assembled in situ from three equivalents of B(OPh)3 and one of the VANOL ligand by a molecule of substrate. The effects of introducing substituents at each position of the naphthalene core of the VANOL ligand are systematically investigated in an aziridination reaction. Copyright
