Epaminierungen. II. Herstellung von Aziridinen aus Olefinen und N-Halogenaminen

Epaminations. II. Synthesis of Aziridines from Olefins and N-Haloamines Chloramine, dichloramine as well as the N-chloro- and N-bromo-derivatives of primary aliphatic amines react with olefins to give aziridines. Yields up to 75% are obtained by the reaction of N.N-dibromamines with styrene-type olefins. The reaction is shown to proceed stereo-unspecifically by a chain-mechanism with the radical RN·Br as the chain carrier.
