						If ethylene oxide is treated with phenylmagnesium bromide and hydrolyzed, 2-phenethylalcohol will result. What if one treated N-tosyl-aziridine* with phenylmagnesium bromide? Would 2-phenethylamine result directly after the hydrolysis? If so, then we have a GREAT novel route to all our favorite phenethylamines... *Aziridine is the nitrogen analog of ethylene oxide, and it needs to be protected with tosyl, or the grignard will be quenched. http://rhodium.lycaeum.org

						Thank goodness for ring strain!  Looks like a good possibility, at least based on my unexpert estimation.  Yields for the closest analog I could find to this aziridine reaction are around 60%, couldn't find any actual *quantitative* data on reaction rates though.  Then again, I'm currently library-less and journal-less, so my search capabilities aren't what they used to be.  Hopefully this situation will be rectified soon.  I'm rambling -- in any case, I'll be interested to hear any results (theoretical or empirical) in this line of research.

						A classic way to get around the quenching of the Griganrd reagent by the desired end product is reverse addition. That is, slowly add (AKA drip) the Grignard reagent to the vat of the compound to be acted upon.  The Grignard reacts with the most availible substance, which is usually the starting compound, and not wit the end product.  In this case that might be a little hard however, because I believe that Aziridine is a gas at room temperature, but I could be wrong.  Even if the Aziridine is a gas one could dissolve the Aziridine in an inert liquid. AS A CRAZY SIDE NOTE:  I recently discovered that poly(ethylene glycols) can be very easily ETHERIFED, that is @ room temperture, with KOH (and maybe NaOH), and an alkyl halide, the poly(ethylene glycol)'s OH groups can be can alkylated creating ether.  Perhaps the etherifed poly(ethylene glycols) can be used as solvents for Grignard reactions since they are close analogs to ethyl ether, are known to coordinate well with metal ions, and are at the very least totally inert to Grignard compounds.  What do you think?

						Tetrahedron 53(13), 4935-4946 (1997) (https://www.rhodium.ws/pdf/aziridine/phosphorylaziridine.grignard.pdf) The above is an article about exactly this reaction. They used the diethylphosphite protected 1-methylaziridine, and got the ring-opened product in 87% yield, and after hydrolysis they isolated about 30% amphetamine (on a 0.03 mole scale, it should be better on a larger scale).
		Greensnake (Stranger) 04-19-01 13:22 No 185252				Re: Ring opening of aziridine with PhMgX
						Yeah, this route is fairly doable. I faintly recall that copper modified lithiumorganics were used and probably this must work with Grignards too. Ok, it's good idea for research purposes, but GOD FORBID anybee tries to mess with aziridines at home. Aziridine is toxic, carcinogenic and what else, and in some aspects make potassium cyanide look like innocent food additive.
		SarahTonin (Stranger) 04-19-01 20:26 No 185324				Re: Ring opening of aziridine with PhMgX
						I like the idea of this in principle. However, in practice I have found it difficult to generate aromatic Grignard reagents with electron-donating groups. Likely problem is destabilization of the pseudocarbanion as a result of the electron donation. Same thing happens in trying to make aryllithiums. This could be a drawback considering most of the desirable compounds contain functionality such as MeO, Me, etc. If you can get it to work, awesome, but I have an alternate suggestion along the same lines. Here goes: It is well documented that styrene and substituted styrenes will undergo catalytic nitrene transfer aziridination reactions. The nature of the substitution seems to have little or no effect on the yields. Any number of Cu-based catalysts are highly effective, with many giving QUANTITATIVE yields of the aziridine product. The nitrene precrsor is extremely easy to make, providing you can get a hold of some Iodobenzene diacetate. The precursor is synthesized as follows: PhI(OAc)2 + p-TolSO2NH2 + KOH --> PhI=NTs Reaction is done in MeOH at room temp, stirring for 3 hours, let solution sit overnight to precipitate. Filter and recrystallize from MeOH. Voila. As for the aziridination reactions, the only drawback is a potentially difficult synthesis of your desired styrene precursor. However, these things can be done. Regardless, these reactions do work and they work well. Basically they go like this: ArCH=CH2 + PhI=NTs + Cu catalyst --> ArCH(NTs)CH2 (sorry for the lack of good three membered ring drawing) Reaction works usually by stirring overnight at room temp in CH3CN. Workup involves chromatography, but this forum is for the pro bees anyway. Once you have this aziridine, simple hydrogenolysis/ring opening should yield the appropriate PEA. Sorry I can't give refs right now, but I will provide in the next few days. Got em written down but forgot to bring em. PS - Nice to be aboard.

						Aziridines 59. Regioselectivity in Nucleophilic Ring Opening of 2-Methylaziridines. Pen-Yuan Lin, Gunther Bentz and Helmut Stamm J. Prakt. Chem. 335, 23-34 (1993) (https://www.rhodium.ws/pdf/2-methylaziridine.ring-opening.pdf) Abstract The regioselectivity ratio RS = normal:abnormal opening of activated 2-methylaziridines 2 by nucleophiles is found to range from 0.10 to unmeasurable large (only normal opening = substitution at CH2 by strongly basic carbanions). RS is assumed to result from SN2 variants differing in the degree to which bond breaking is ahead of bond making including perhaps synchronous SN2. Bond breaking will be more ahead for the N-CMe bond. High nucleophilic power pushes bond making toward a synchronous process resulting in great RS. The decrease in RS with acyl activation relative to sulfonyl activation is in accord with a flattening of the nitrogen pyramid (planarization effect). The planarization effect is retained in acidic medium by O-protonation: Rs 0.10-0.14 for methanolysis as compared to RS 0.43 for N-protonated sulfonylaziridine 2h. AMI calculations support the planarization hypothesis. - No indication for SET with trityl anion was found. Reaction of N-Tosyl-2-Methylaziridine with phenylmagnesium bromide A solution of 2.11 g (10 mmol) of N-Tosyl-2-Methylaziridine (2h) in 100 ml of THF was added dropwise (30 min) to a boiling solution prepared from 1.20g (50 mmol) of magnesium turnings and 1.57g (10 mmol) of bromobenzene in 100 ml of THF. Heating at reflux was continued for 5 h. After cooling to room temp. the mixture was poured onto ice.

		Rhodium (Chief Bee) 12-04-03 12:45 No 474622				Tosylaziridines and Grignards to Amphetamines (Rated as: excellent)
						A new convenient approach to chiral -aryl(heteroaryl)alkylamines Valentine G. Nenajdenko, Alexei S. Karpov and Elizabeth S. Balenkova Tetrahedron: Asymmetry 12(18), 2517-2527 (2001) (https://www.rhodium.ws/pdf/aziridine/n-tosyl-alkylaziridines.grignard.pdf) DOI:10.1016/S0957-4166(01)00442-6 Abstract Chiral -aryl(heteroaryl)alkylamines have been prepared from N-tosyl alkylaziridines via regiospecific nucleophilic ring opening and subsequent desulfonylation in good to excellent yields. The corresponding aziridines are easily obtained from commercially available (S)--amino acids, so this method is the first effective route to asymmetric -aryl(heteroaryl)alkylamines. 2.1. Synthesis of starting chiral N-tosyl aziridines We reasoned that chiral aziridines are convenient synthetic precursors to chiral -aryl(heteroaryl)alkylamines as it is well known that monosubstituted aziridines are attacked by nucleophiles exclusively at the less hindered site. Thus, cleavage of chiral aziridines with aryl and heteroaryl organometallic reagents could offer a straightforward route to chiral -aryl(heteroaryl)alkylamines. However, this transformation has not been employed previously. The presence of a suitable electron-withdrawing protecting group is necessary for effective ring opening. There are several protecting groups that could serve as activators of aziridine cleavage such as diphenylphosphinyl (Dpp), diethoxyphosphoryl  and sulfonyl. In our synthesis, we chose the tosyl group as the activator. It is known that N-tosyl aziridines could be easily synthesized from commercially available natural -amino acids using a one-pot modification of Craig's protocol[9] and following this procedure, we prepared N-tosyl aziridines from phenylalanine, leucine and valine. In the case of the alanine derivative, ring closure was unacceptably slow. To overcome this problem the last step of the procedure was modified and ring closure was carried out using potassium hydroxide in methanol. 2.2. Nucleophilic ring opening of N-tosyl aziridines Readily available (2S)-benzyl-N-tosylaziridine was chosen as a model substrate in the screening experiments searching for the best cleaving organometallic reagent. Various lithium, zinc and magnesium derivatives of thiophene were used as the organometallic reagents. It was found that the desired -aryl(heteroaryl)alkylamine was obtained only by cleavage of the aziridine ring with the Grignard reagent in the presence of catalytic amounts (15 mol%) of copper(I)iodide. The use of alternative organometallic reagents did not furnish the required product. The reaction occurred smoothly to give N-tosylamides arising from attack of nucleophile at the less substituted ring carbon of the aziridine in good yields (63–89%). A mixture of regioisomers was detected only in the case of reaction with 3-indolyl magnesium bromide, which could be explained by the fact that ether was used as the solvent in this reaction due to the poor solubility of 3-indolyl magnesium bromide in THF. In all of the other experiments THF was used as the solvent. Experimental 4.2. General procedure for ring opening of N-tosyl aziridines with Grignard reagents To Mg (0.17 g, 7 mmol) in a flame-dried flask under Ar THF (10 mL) was added. The solution of corresponding arylbromide (7.1 mmol) in THF (5 mL) was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred for 30 min at rt, then cooled to -30°C and dry CuI (0.2 g, 1.05 mmol) was added. The suspension was stirred for 30 min at -30°C, then cooled to -78°C. A solution of the corresponding 2-alkyl-1-[(4-methylphenyl)sulfonyl]aziridine (3.5 mmol) in THF (10 mL) was added dropwise. The suspension was stirred at -78°C for 15 min, then at 0°C for 1 h, after which time it was partitioned between NH4Cl and ether, the aqueous layer extracted with ether (3Ч15 mL), the organic layers dried (Na2SO4), filtered and the solvent removed in vacuo to leave a brown oil which was purified by chromatography on silica gel with hexane–dichloromethane (1:1) as eluent. 4.5. General procedure for desulfonylation To a suspension of Mg (0.45 g, 20 mmol) in MeOH (5 mL) was added a solution of the corresponding N-tosylalkyl-2-arylamine (2 mmol) in MeOH (10 mL). The resulting suspension was sonicated for 1 h until consumption of the starting material was complete. The reaction mixture was then diluted with aqueous NH4Cl and extracted with ether (3Ч5 mL). The organic layer was dried over MgSO4 and evaporated. To resulting oil ethanolic solution HCl (0.5 mL, 2 M) was added. Hydrochloride was precipitated, filtered and washed with ether. Deprotection of Sulfonamides Using lodotrimethylsilane G. Sabitha, B.V. S. Reddy, S. Abraham, J.S. Yadav Tetrahedron Letters 40, 1569-1570 (1999) The desulfonylation proceeds with 1.5 eq. of iodotrimethylsilane in acetonitrile, refluxing for 3-4 hr in good yields. The mild reaction conditions employed in this deprotection method allow the selective deprotection of sulfonamides in the presence of N-alkyl and N-benzyl groups. In conclusion, the reagent used for this cleavage is inexpensive, non-toxic and the cleavage is carried out under mild and neutral conditions. Typical procedure: To a suspension of sodium iodide (1.5 mmol) in acetonitrile (10 mL) chlorotrimethylsilane (1.5 mmol) was added dropwise and stirred for 10 minutes at 0°C under a N2 atmosphere. To this stirred suspension, a solution of N,N-diphenylsulfonamide (1 mmol) in acetonitrile (5 mL) was added and refluxed for 3 hrs. The reaction mixture was quenched with water and extracted with ethyl acetate (25 mL). The organic layer was washed with 10% sodium thiosulphate solution, brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated under vacuum to give the crude product. This was purified by column chromatography to afford pure N,N-diphenylamine (88% yield). An Efficient Desulfonylation Method Mediated by Magnesium in Ethanol Ge Hyeong Lee, Eun Bok Choi, Eun Lee, and Chwang Siek Pak Tetrahedron Letters, 34(28), 4541-42 (1993) (https://www.rhodium.ws/pdf/desulfonylation.mg-etoh.pdf) DOI:10.1016/0040-4039(93)88080-3 Summary An extremely convenient desulfonylation method of primary, secondary, tertiary alkyl and vinyl phenyl sulfones was developed by using magnesium in ethanol in the presence of catalytic amount of mercuric chloride to give the corresponding alkanes and alkene in almost quantitative yields. Typical procedure: A mixture of substrate (2.0 mmol), Mg (146 mg, 6.0 mmol, powder, ~50 mesh, Aldrich), and a few crystals of HgCl2 in 10 mL dry EtOH (or 10 mL of a 3:1 dry mixture of EtOH-THF for entry 5-8) was stirred for 2 h at room temperature. The reaction mixture was poured into cold 0.5 N HCl and extracted with pentane (or ether for entry 5-10). The organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution, dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give crude product which was purified by flash column chromatography (SiO2).

						Ok, so they're pretty much all either reduced potency and/or neurotoxic.  Do we know if they are all just weaker analogues or might they have different effects also?  I've got the feeling they're just weaker with no interesting/unique effects. Act quickly or not at all.
