Aziridines saturées et insaturées. Synthèses par réduction de cyclohexénones oximes et études spectroscopiques

The reduction of several cyclohexenone oximes using lithium aluminum hydride and sodium dihydrobis-(2-methoxyethoxy)aluminate yields saturated and unsaturated aziridines with a 7-azabicyclo[4.1.0]heptane skeleton and cyclohex-2-ene amines. The use of oximes of E and/or Z configuration demonstrates the regioselectivity of the reduction and allows us to propose reaction schemes explaining the formation of the different types of products.
