title: Coupling of Vinyl Aziridines and Isocyanates.
abstract: Thermal coupling of vinyl aziridines and phenyl isocyanate was evaluated. Although oxazolidinone products were predominant, some reactions afforded a seven-membered ring heterocycle. When Ni/IMes was employed as a catalyst, a wider array of vinyl aziridines underwent coupling reactions. The Ni catalyzed reactions generally afforded vinyl imidazolidinones as major products.
