Reactions of N-Cinnamoylaziridines by Generation of Aziridino Ketyls from Homolytic Cleavage of Michael Adducts

High yields of the pyrrolidinones 2a, b are obtained from N-cinnamoylaziridines 1a, b and the carbanion 'anthracene hydride' (anion of dihydroanthracene).Aziridino ketyls 3a, b are intermediates that probably arise by way of base-initiated homolytic fragm

Evolutions differentes de radicaux anions formes par voie chimique ou electrochimique

Chemical and electrochemical reductions of N-aroylaziridines 1 are described and compared.The first step is a single electron transfer (1 +e -> 1-. -> 1'-.).But compounds obtained from 1'-. are depending on the method used way followed: chemical reduction of N-cinnamoylaziridine 1e provides pyrrolidone 10e; but oxazoline 11e is available by electrochemical reduction of the same starting material 1e.Counter ion seems responsible of these different results.In agreement with this hypothesis, it is shown that pyrrolidone 10e is obtained from 1j only in presence of a counter ion.
