2-Methylaziridine → HCID 58210218, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 250 mL round bottomed flask were added 3-(acryloyloxy)-2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate (32.1 g, 0.15 mol, available from Aldrich) and 2-methylaziridine (10.8 g, about 0.17 mol, 90% pure, available from Aldrich) to cause a slight exotherm. The reaction mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature overnight. Excess 2-methylaziridine was removed at reduced pressure to leave the desired product (40.4 g) as a colorless liquid. NMR and IR spectral analyses confirmed the structure of the product.
