Abstract
Deprotection of a variety of N-tosylaziridines with sodium naphthalenide pr ovided the corresponding N-H-aziridines in excellent yield. No single elect ron transfer (SET) induced aziridine ring opening was seen under the condit ions employed for the deprotection reaction. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
