The Rh II ‐catalyzed intermolecular addition of nitrenes to aromatic and aliphatic alkenes provides vicinal amino alcohols with yields of up to 95 % and complete regioselectivity. This 1,2‐oxyamination reaction involves the formation of an aziridine intermediate that undergoes in situ ring opening. The latter is induced by the Rh‐bound nitrene that behaves as a Lewis acid.
