Abstract

Thermolysis of alk-1-enyl-N-phthalimidoaziridines leads to products of 1,5-electrocyclization of intermediate azomethine ylides with participation of C=C bonds. If acyl or alkoxycarbonyl substituent is present in the aziridine ring, the C=O bond is also involved. Thermolysis of the title compounds in the presence of N-phenylmaleimide or dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate under analogous conditions gives products of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides to the double or triple bond of the dipolarophile.
