A straightforward synthesis toward 2-fluorinated aziridines was developed via ring closure of β-fluorinated β-chloroamines, which were obtained via reduction of the corresponding α- fluorinated amides by borane. When 1-benzyl-2-fluoroaziridine was treated with methanol, reaction occurred at the 2-position, giving rise to N-benzyl-2, 2-dimethoxyethylamine, while in the case of 1-benzyl-2, 2-difluoroaziridine the 3-position was attacked, giving rise to N- ...
