| Abstract: | 1-Phenylmethyl-2-hydroxymethylaziridine ( 1 ) undergoes regioselective reactions with carbon disulfide to form thiazolidinethiones. Deuterium labeling experiments suggest that the reaction proceeds exclusively via aziridinium ring expansion. The regiospecificity appears to be electronically controlled. |
