“…Aziridine 1 (775 mg, 85%) was obtained, the analytical characteristics of which agreed completely with the literature data of [13]. 13 C NMR spectrum (CDCl 3 ), δ, ppm: 43.45 (C (2,8) ); 46.59 (CH 2 ); 50.85 (C (1, 9) and C (4,6) ); 123.83 (C (b) ); 129.89 (C (a) ); 134.87 (C (c) ); 137.14 (C (10,11) (2,7) , and C (9,11) ); 123.39 (C (b) ); 130.63 (C (a) ); 134.46 (C (c) ); 142.48 (C (4,5) 13 C NMR spectrum (mixture of DMSO-d 6 -CCl 4 , ~1:2), δ, ppm: 24.72 (CH 2 ); 37.49 (C (1, 9) ); 41.39 (C (2,8) ); 49.22 (C (4,6) ); 52.36 (C (10,12) ); 122.28 and 122.89 (C (b,b') ); 129.53 and 129.82 (C (a,a') ); 133.69 and 134. N-Aminophthalimide (486 mg, 3 mmol) and lead tetraacetate (1.33 g, 3 mmol) were added alternately in 10-15 mg portions during 40 min to a suspension of anhydrous potassium carbonate (1.3 g, 9.4 mmol) in a mixture of ethyl cinnamate (792 mg, 4.5 mmol) and methylene chloride (40 ml) cooled to 0°C.…”
