title: Structure and reactivity of bicyclic methylene aziridines prepared by intramolecular aziridination of allenes.
abstract: Unprecedented bicyclic methylene aziridines are prepared by rhodium(II)-catalyzed allene aziridination of buta-2,3-dienyl carbamates. Aspects of their NMR and X-ray data are described and a preliminary reactivity profile is given, including overall S(N)V-mode ring-opening with organometallic reagents.
