Description

2-Benzylaziridine is an organic compound that can be synthesized from 2-benzyloxirane and ammonia. It is used as a chromatographic stationary phase, a synthetic intermediate, and a starting material for the synthesis of other aziridines. The reaction rate of this compound depends on the energy of the reaction. Low energy reactions are generally faster than high energy reactions. In addition, ring-opening reactions are faster than aziridine synthesis because they require less activation energy. 2-Benzylaziridine can be produced in two different isomeric forms: cis and trans. This compound has been shown to have impurities such as isosafrole and aziridine which may be difficult to remove by distillation or recrystallization alone.
2-Benzylaziridine has been shown to have low toxicity in animal studies.END>>
