Process and apparatus for addition of nitrogen to an organic molecule under electrochemical conditions. Processes include aziridination of olefins and imination of sulfoxides to form sulfoximines. Nitrene generation in the presence of a carboxylate is described

possibility of a rational approach that bypasses the requirement for stoichiometric amounts of toxic oxidants and metal additives (including reagents and catalysts) in organic redox reactions. We describe an aziridination process that delivers a nitrene functionality to olefins from a readily available N-aminophthalimide. Remarkably, both electron-rich and electron-poor olefins are converted to aziridines
