| Description | Ethylenimine, also known as aziridine or azacyclopropane, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as aziridines. These are organic compounds containing a saturated three-member heterocycle with one amino group and two methylene groups. Ethylenimine is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Ethylenimine consists of a three-membered heterocycle (CH2)2NH. It is a colorless, toxic, volatile liquid that is of significant practical interest. Ethylen imine is produced industrially from aminoethanol via two related routes. The Nippon Shokubai process requires an oxide catalyst and high temperatures to affect the dehydration. In the Wenker synthesis, the aminoethanol is converted to the sulfate ester, which undergoes base-induced sulfate elimination. Older methods entailed amination of 1,2-dichloroethane and cyclization of 2-chloroethylamine. Ethylenimine has been reported to be found in soybean and wild celery. It has also been detected in the volatile fraction of Cannabis sativa samples obtained from police seizures (PMID: 26657499 ). |
