Ah. Li et al., FACILE PREPARATION OF VINYLAZIRIDINES BY THE REACTION OF N-SULFONYLIMINES AND CINNAMYL BROMIDE MEDIATED BY A CATALYTIC AMOUNT OF DIMETHYL SULFIDE, Journal of the Chemical Society. Perkin transactions. I, (9), 1996, pp. 867-869
beta-Phenylvinylaziridines are prepared in moderate to good yields fro
m the reaction of N-sulfonylimines and cinnamyl bromide mediated by a
catalytic amount of dimethyl sulfide in the presence of solid K2CO3 in
acetonitrile at ambient temperature.
