Functionalization of olefins by alkoximidoylnitrenes

(N-Cyano- and N-(methylsulfonyl)alkoxycarbimidoyl)nitrenes, generated in situ from the corresponding azides by 300-nm UV light, convert a variety of olefins cleanly and stereospecifically to the corresponding aziridines. These can readily be hydrolyzed to N-unsubstituted aziridines or ring-opened to...

Zusammenfassung:(N-Cyano- and N-(methylsulfonyl)alkoxycarbimidoyl)nitrenes, generated in situ from the corresponding azides by 300-nm UV light, convert a variety of olefins cleanly and stereospecifically to the corresponding aziridines. These can readily be hydrolyzed to N-unsubstituted aziridines or ring-opened to allylic isoureas. The nitrenes can also be generated by thermolysis at 80{degree}C. The azides add to norbornene to give triazolines, which lose nitrogen to give the exo-aziridines.
