2-ethylaziridine

Description:

2-Ethylaziridine is a cyclic amine characterized by its three-membered ring structure containing one nitrogen atom and two carbon atoms, with an ethyl group attached to one of the carbons. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and has a distinctive amine-like odor. It is known for its reactivity, particularly due to the strain in the aziridine ring, which makes it susceptible to nucleophilic attack and ring-opening reactions. 2-Ethylaziridine is soluble in water and organic solvents, which enhances its utility in various chemical reactions and applications. It is primarily used in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, it can serve as a building block for more complex molecules. However, like many aziridines, it may pose health risks, including potential toxicity and irritant properties, necessitating careful handling and appropriate safety measures in laboratory and industrial settings.

2-Ethylaziridine is a carbonyl compound that is known to be carcinogenic in animals. It has been shown to be an effective inhibitor of influenza virus and can cause cancer in laboratory animals. 2-Ethylaziridine is also able to inhibit the growth of cells in culture, which may be due to its ability to react with fatty alcohols. These reactions produce a variety of products, including polycarboxylic acids, chromatographic science, and hydroxy group compounds. The aromatic hydrocarbon moiety may also contribute to the inhibition of fatty acid synthase activity and cellular proliferation. 2-Ethylaziridine has been shown to have antiviral properties against influenza virus strains A/PR/8/34 (H1N1) and A/WSN/1933 (H1N2). This antiviral effect was found to be more pronounced when 2-ethylaziridine was used with monoclonal antibodies against influenza virus hem
