A two step method was developed for the synthesis of new polyfunctional aziridines involving the addition of aromatic amines to 1 bromo 3,3,3 trichloro 1 nitropropene and the dehydro bromination of the resulting adducts. The 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopic and X ray diffrac tion studies showed that 1 aryl 2 nitro 3 trichloromethylaziridines are stereohomogeneous and have the geometry, such that the nitro and aryl substituents are in the trans positions with respect to the trichloromethyl group. The chemical bonding in the crystal and the gas phase was investigated based on high resolution X ray diffraction analysis of the electron density distribution and quantum chemical calculations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
