PPh 3 /I 2 is an efficient reagent for the stereo-controlled deamination of non-activated aziridines, N-H and N-alkyl aziridines, using. The method works gives the corresponding trans-alkenes from both cis and trans-aziridines. A plausible mechanism is proposed for the ring opening and deamination of keto-aziridines in the presence of Ph 3 P/I 2 .
Several N‐acyl‐2‐benzoylaziridines were previously prepared conveniently and used in the preparation of 5‐benzoyl‐2,4‐diaryl oxazolines in the presence of NaI. In this work, synthesis of some trans‐4‐benzoyl‐2,5‐diaryl oxazolines by a regio‐controlled and stereo‐controlled reaction in the presence of Iron (III) nitrate at room temperature is reported. A plausible mechanism has been proposed for ring expansion of N‐acylaziridines to oxazolines.
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.
