title: An unprecedented ring-opening reaction of N-(aziridin-2-ylmethylene)hydrazines to facile synthesis of functionalized enamines catalysed by Lewis acid.
abstract: An interesting Lewis acid-catalysed ring-opening reaction of N-(aziridin-2-ylmethylene)hydrazines has been described in this context. A variety of functionalized enamines could be obtained in good yields through a highly regioselective cleavage of a carbon-nitrogen single bond in the aziridines along with a 1,2-migration of the substituent.
