Abstract

A new milder protocol for aziridination of a variety of olefins has been described. The process employs catalytic amount of sodium metaperiodate (NaIO4) as an oxidant and LiBr and chloramine-T as the bromine and nitrogen sources, respectively. Interestingly, the formation of aziridine products in all the cases studied takes place presumably through a process of 1,2-aminobromination of alkenes. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
