Abstract

AbstractThe as yet unknown route to triaziridines by the addition of nitrenes to the π side of the NN bond is achieved intramolecularly by the photolysis (thermolysis) of syn‐azo azide substrates with high proximity; the yields reflect the sterical (and possibly inductive) influences of the skeleton. The product composition is rather independent of the exciting light; intramolecular azo → azide energy transfer is assumed. The kinetic skeleton stabilization of the triaziridines permits the synthesis of 17 (18) by the thermolysis of 7 (8) at 200°C with the product composition deviating only marginally from that of the photolysis. Attempts towards enlargement of the triaziridines to N3X rings (XCHR, O, NR) lead exclusively to products of intramolecular fragmentation.
