Heteroatomic derivatives of aziridine. 15. Reaction of 1-(triethylsilyl)- and 1-[2-(trialkylsilyl)ethyl]-aziridines with thiols

The reaction of 1-(triethylsilyl)aziridine with alkanethiols proceeds with splitting out of aziridine and the formation of (alkylthio)triethylsilanes. The reaction of 1-(triethylsilyl)aziridine with 2-mercaptoethanol leads to 2-(triethylsilyloxy)ethanethiol; the same reaction in a closed system leads to [2-(2-aminoethylthiol)ethoxy]triethylsilane. 1-[2-(Trialkylsilyl)ethyl]aziridines react with 2-mercaptoethanol and with mercapto carboyxlic acids with opening of the aziridine ring.See [1] for Communication 14.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 891–893, July, 1988.
