Abstract
Alkenes (1) reacts with chloramine-T in presence of the catalyst silver nit rate to afford aziridines (2). The aziridines underwent ring expansion with the acrylo nitrile or ethyl acrylate (3) in the presence of solid sodium h ydroxide to form pyrrolines (4) in 40-58% yield. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
