Chemistry of Aziridinecarboxylic Acids; Part 2. Convenient Synthesis of 2-Aminopropenenitrile 2-Aminopropenenitrile (4) has been prepared by dehydrochlorination of 2-amino-3-chloropropanenitrile (3) with triethylamine. A simple and efficient synthesis of 2-cyanoaziridine (2) by reaction of 2, 3-dibromopropanenitrile (1) with ammonia in methanol in the presence of triethanolamine is described.
