Facile and efficient stereospecific deamination of aziridines using task-specific silica immobilized organosilane-based nitrite ionic liquid

Various cis- and trans-aziridine derivatives were deaminated via the reaction with task-specific silica immobilized organosilane-based nitrite ionic liquid. Corresponding cis- or trans-alkenes were produced as stereospecific products in good-to-excellent yields. The advantages of this method include the one-pot procedure, operational simplicity, solvent-free, and very short reaction times. Simple handling of this nitrite anion source nanoparticles and thus lowering the risks and hazards of a chemical process can offer other important advantages.
