MAGNESIUM ACETATE – AN EFFECTIVE ELECTROPHILIC ACTIVATOR OF THE CARBONYL GROUP IN TRANSESTERIFICATION OF DIALKYLAZIRIDINE DICARBOXYLATES

Abstract

A method for transesterification of the ester groups in dialkylaziridine dicarboxylates by electrophilic activation of the carbonyl group in the presence of magnesium acetate with the preservation of the aziridine ring was developed and the use of modified aziridine dicarboxylates in the synthesis of sterically hindered derivatives of fullerenes C₆₀, 2',5'-disubstituted fulleropyrrolidines, was demonstrated.
