Abstract
Tantalum (V) Chloride adsorbed on silicagel has been utilized as an efficient catalyst for ring opening of aziridines with aromatic amines for the synthesis of 1,2‐diamines. Mild reaction conditions, high yields, operational simplicity, relatively less amount of catalyst and high regioselectivity are some of the major advantages of the procedure described herein.
