N-Amino-endo-bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2,3-dicarboximide in reaction of oxidative aminoaziridination

The ability of easily accessible N-amino-endo-bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2,3-dicarboximide to undergo oxidative addition to double bonds of alkenes has been explored. The compound is active toward alkenes with electron-withdrawing groups, aryl- and alkyl-substituted alkenes, providing access to stable derivatives of N-aminoaziridine. Yields varied from 20% to 70%. No products of self-aminoaziridination were isolated.
