Ring opening of aziridin-1-yl-quinones
Abstract
Certain aziridin-1-yl-quinones are converted by the action of sodium iodide and aluminium halides into 2-halogenoethylamino-quinones. The behaviour of the latter on catalytic reduction has been studied. The reaction of 3,6-diaziridin-1-yl-p-xyloquinone with concentrated sulphuric acid is reported.
