Reactions of aziridinones with magnesium compounds
Abstract
The reaction of 1,3-bis-(1-adamantyl)aziridin-2-one with magnesium chloride, bromide, or iodide affords the corresponding α-halogeno-amide by cleavage of the alkyl–nitrogen bond, whereas reaction of the same aziridinone with magnesium methoxide yields an α-aminoester by cleavage of the acyl-nitrogen bond.
