Al. Schwan et Md. Refvik, SUBSTITUENT CONTROL OVER THE REGIOCHEMISTRY OF RING-OPENING OF 2-AZIRIDINYLMETHYL RADICALS, Tetrahedron letters, 34(31), 1993, pp. 4901-4904
Several substituted 2-aziridinylmethyl radicals have been generated an
d a rapid ring opening ensues to produce aminyl radicals by way of C-N
bond cleavage and in some instances alpha-aminyl carbon radicals via
C-C bond homolysis.
