1-Arylmethyl-2-(bromomethyl)azirdines were converted into the corresponding 2-(aryloxymethyl)aziridines upon treatment with the appropriate potassium phenoxides in DMF/acetone in excellent yields, followed by regioselective ring opening towards N,N-di(arylmethyl)-N-(2-bromo-3-aryloxypropyl)amines using benzyl bromide in acetonitrile. Treatment of the latter β-bromoamines with sodium methoxide afforded
