Expedient metal-free preparation of aryl aziridines via thermal cycloaddition reactions

Abstract

A straightforward synthesis of aryl aziridines is reported from readily available azides and alkenes and using technical solvents in the presence of air. This methodology does not require any additives and the obtained compounds can be employed in ring-opening and ring-expansion reactions.
