Synthesis of allyl-aziridines from α-halo oxime ethers and allyl zinc bromides

Abstract

A novel method for the preparation of substituted allyl aziridines by reaction of α-halo with allylic zinc reagents in mild conditions is reported in this paper. The present method complements the existing synthetic methods due to some advantages offered by the use of organozinc reagents, which are easily prepared, relatively stable and non-toxic, and more selective than Grignard reagents.
