title: Aryl iodide mediated aziridination of alkenes.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Aryl iodide mediated aziridination of a variety of alkenes with N-aminophthalimide under mild conditions (m-CPBA, K2CO3, CH2Cl2, 25 degrees C) was achieved in moderate to good yields (up to 94%). By recovering the aryl iodide, a recyclable system is developed with product yield over 79% attained for the aziridination of trans-1,2-diphenylethylene.
