Abstract
Azirine reacts with 2-vinylpyridine in the presence of metallic sodium with the formation of N-[β-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl]azirine. The reaction of the latter with HBr and H2S leads to N-(β-bromoethyl)-and N-(β-mercaptoethyl)-N-[β-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl]amines. Carbon oxysulfide and carbon disulfide react at room temperature with N-[β-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl]azirine to form copolymers in a ratio of 1∶1. Carbon dioxide forms only N-[β-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl]-oxazolinone under similar conditions.
