Facile preparation of allyl amines and pyrazoles by hydrazinolysis of 2-ketoaziridines

Allyl amines and pyrazoles can be obtained by hydrazinolysis of 2-ketoaziridines. A variety of aziridines, including N-unprotected, N-substituted, as well as bicyclic enamine and aminal type, can be transformed into diversely substituted linear or cyclic products. The hydrazinolysis of homochiral aziridines proceeds without racemization.
