N-methylpyrrolidine-2-one hydrotribromide: An efficient and new catalyst for the aziridination of alkenes using Chloramine-T under solvent free conditions

N-methylpyrrolidin-2-one hydrotribromide (MPHT) was found to be an efficient catalyst for the aziridination of a variety of both electron deficient as well as electron rich olefins using Chloramine-T as nitrogen source under solvent free conditions to yield corresponding aziridines in very good yields.
