2-Methylaziridine → HCID 59135534, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 25.6 g (0.20 mol) of n-butyl acrylate (Aldrich) was added 19.0 g (0.30 mol) of 2-methylaziridine (Aldrich, 90%) to cause a mildly exothermic reaction. The reaction mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature for 20 hours. At that time analysis of the reaction mixture by NMR spectroscopy indicated complete absence of vinylic protons of the starting n-butyl acrylate and formation of the title compound. The excess 2-methylaziridine was removed at reduced pressure to leave 37.1 g (100%) of the title compound as a colorless oil.
