Umbrella motion in aziridines: use of simple chemical inputs to reversibly control the rate of pyramidal inversion

Abstract

The molecular motion associated with atomic inversion at an aziridine nitrogen can be essentially halted by metal complexation; addition of a second chemical input that decomplexes the metal from the aziridine restores fast inversion (k = 40 s–1 at 303 K).
