Abstract

1 -Alkyl- and l-an/lmethyl-2-( bromomethyl)aziridines are readily cleaved by the sonochemical zinc-copper couple in aqueous methanol at room temp. to afford allylamines. ... Ring opening of small rings by radical rearrangement has received much attention (Scheme 1).1 The cyclopropylmethyl radical 2 (Z = CR1, R2) has been shown to have a synthetic potential. The oxygen analogues, i. e. 2-oxiranylmethyl rad- icals 2 (Z = 0), have witnessed a major interest in ...
