Abstract: Aziridine is a very useful synthetic intermediate in organic synthesis. The ring-opening reaction of aziridine with various heteroatom nucleophiles has received intensive attention by organic chemists. However, the development of using carbon nucleophiles, especially unstabilized carbon nucleophiles, falls far behind. In this regard, we reported ring-opening reaction of α-carbanion of acetophenone oxime with aziridines in the presence of HMPA, affording corresponding products in moderate to good yields. Tetralone oxime is also a suitable substrate for some monosubstituted aziridines. This method offers a new example of the ring-opening reaction of carbanion with aziridines.

Key words: oxime, aziridine, ring-opening, carbanion
