Recent progress in the synthesis of aziridine derivatives (microreview)

  • HETEROCYCLES IN FOCUS
  • Published:
Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

The goal of the present microreview is to cover the recent advances in the synthesis of aziridine derivatives. This review covers recent strategies (last 4 years) towards ethyleneimine via aziridination of alkenes and carbon-imine cyclization.
