Abstract

Aziridines react smoothly with sodium azide and sodium cyanide in the presence of catalytic amount of lithium perchlorate under essentially mild and neutral reaction conditions to afford the corresponding β-azido and β-cyanoamines in high yields with high regioselectivity.

Keywords

lithium perchlorate - aziridines - regioselective - β-azidoamines
