Synthesis of aziridines by reduction of oximes and O-alkyl oximes with sodium dihydrobis-(2-methoxyethoxy)aluminate

Abstract
Reduction of aryl ketone oximes and their O-alkyl derivatives with sodium dihydrobis-(2-methoxyethoxy)aluminate, gives aziridines in up to 90% yield. Stereochemical relationships and mechanisms for the formation of amines and cis- and trans-disubstituted aziridines are discussed.
