Structure of products of the reaction of 2-cyanoaziridine with carbonyl compounds
摘要:
The structure of azimexone (3), the product of the reaction of 2-cyanoaziridine with acetone, was confirmed on the basis of H-1 and C-13 NMR spectra. The formation of this product is accounted for by the alpha-aziridinoalkylating action of an intermediate containing a good leaving iminoyloxy group. Similar reactions were observed for 1-chloromethylaziridine and a 1-aziridinylmethylammonium salt (6), but not for 1-methoxymethylaziridine (7) and 1-aziridinemethanol.
