The synthesis of N-benzoyl aziridines from β-benzamidoalkyl phenyl selenides

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/10426500108046651

β-Benzamidoalkyl phenyl selenides can be oxidised, using mCPBA, to the corresponding selenones which can be cyclised to oxazolines or aziridines depending on the reaction conditions. In neutral or weakly basic conditions the oxazoline is the major product
