The obtained results show that the entire reaction comprises three main steps: (1) nucleophilic attack of diaziridines on DACs to form a quaternary ammonium intermediate; (2) cleavage of the unstable C–N bond in the quaternary ammonium intermediate to generate the key intermediate; (3) cyclization of the key intermediate involving two carbon atoms with opposite charges to obtain products with different configurations <em>via</em> distinct six-membered ring transition states. Based on the calculation results, the reaction between DACs of <em>R</em>-configuration and diaziridines with five-membered ring substituents leads to a predominant <em>E</em>-configuration product. However, <em>Z</em>-configuration products are the major outcome of the reactions involving <em>S</em>-configuration DACs. When <em>R</em>-configuration DACs react with diaziridines containing six-membered rings, the key intermediates of <em>Z</em>-configuration are more stable, thus resulting in the main products with <em>Z</em>-configuration. Furthermore, the distortion/interaction analysis revealed that the configuration of the final product is dominated by the distortion energy and is closely related to that of the key intermediate.
