A high diastereoselectivity (up to > 99:1) is found for the aziridinations of chiral allylic alcohols with acetoxyaminoquinazolinone (Q-NHOAc). The selectivity is explained in terms of hydrogen bonding between the hydroxy functionality of the allylic alcohol and the remote carbonyl group of the quinazolinone.
