Abstract

The stereospecific addition of iodine isocyanate to cyclic olefins leads via trans iodo isocyanates to trans iodo carbamates in good yields. The latter are converted by reaction with base into ethyleneimines. In this manner the following conversions were accomplished: cyclohexene to cyclohexeneimine, dihydronaphthalene to 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroanaphthalene(1,2)imine, indene to indene(1,2)imine, 2-cholestene to cholestene(2β,3β)imine, styrene to α-phenylethyleneimine. A mechanistic interpretation of the reactions involved is given.
