Aziridination of naphthalene by 3-acetoxyaminoquinazolin-4(3H)-ones
Abstract
Reaction of naphthalene with 3-acetoxyaminoquinazolinones 1, 4 or 8 in the presence of hexamethyldisilazane gives the corresponding mono-aziridine as the major (for 1) or exclusive (for 8) product; on heating in benzene, aziridine 5 acts as an aziridinating agent for alkenes.
