Reductive Detriflylation of <i>N</i>‑Triflylamides with Red-Al

Reduction of <i>cis</i>-<i>N</i>-triflylaziridines with 10 equiv of Red-Al in toluene at −40 to 0 °C selectively afforded corresponding deprotected parent aziridines in good to high yields. <i>N,N</i>-Dialkyltriflylamides were also successfully cleaved under similar reaction conditions
