Notes:
N-methyl-ethylidenimine (CH3—CH=N—CH3) was obtained by pyrolysis of 2-methylaziridine in a gas phase flow system, using quartz as a catalyst. Pyrolysis of aziridine gave mainly N-methyl-methylenimine (CH2=N—CH3). Under the conditions used in this work, pyrolysis of both compounds surprisingly showed cleavage of the CC-bond in the three-membered ring. No monomeric ethylidenimine (CH3—CH=NH) could be isolated by pyrolysis of trimeric ethylidenimine (2,4,6-trimethyl-hexahydro-1,3,5-triazine), whereas N-vinyl-ethylidenimine (CH3—CH=N—CH=CH2) could be identified as one of the pyrolysis products. NMR. data for N-methyl-ethylidenimine and N-vinyl-ethylidenimine are given for identification purposes.
