2-aroyl-3-arylaziridines, synthesis and reactions

The first part of the present review is devoted to the synthesis of 2-aroyl-3-aryl aziridines. Scientists are interested in these classes of heterocyclic compounds, first of all by their photochromic properties and high sensitivity towards UV-VIS irradiation. In addition, these compounds are interesting from the viewpoint of reactivity, chemo- and regio-selectivity, stereochemistry and many other. The last part is concerned with chemical behavior of 2-aroyl-3-aryl aziridines in numerous organic reactions including photochemical transformations, cycloadditions, rearrangements, regio- and stereo-selectivity, 1,3-diolar reaction, ring expansion, ring opening, deamination and other.
