Abstract

In this study, efficient and mild synthesis of gem-dichloroaziridines from Schiff bases in the presence of nanocrystalline magnesium oxide/chloroform as a novel source of dichlorocarbene intermediate under thermal conditions have been described. The reaction is dramatically enhanced in the presence of nanocrystalline magnesium oxide, and any byproducts were detected during or after the reaction. The corresponding products have been obtained in excellent yields, high purity and short reaction times.
