Regioselective Synthesis of N-β-Hydroxyethylaziridines by the Ring-Opening Reaction of Epoxides with Aziridine Generated in Situ
摘要:
Biologically important N-beta-hydroxyethylaziridine intermediates were conveniently prepared by regioselective ring-opening reactions of diversely substituted epoxides. Ethyleneimine generated in situ under basic conditions from beta-chloroethylamine was used as a nucleophile to open the epoxides in an aqueous environment.
