Aziridine is produced industrially from ] via two related routes. The Nippon Shokubai process requires an oxide catalyst and high temperatures to effect the dehydration. In the ], the aminoethanol is converted to the ], which undergoes base-induced sulfate elimination. Older methods entailed amination of 1,2-dichloroethane and cyclization of 2-chloroethylamine.<ref name=Ullmann/>


Aziridine forms a wide variety of polymeric derivatives, known as ]s (PEI). These and related species are useful ]s and precursors for coatings.<ref name=Ullmann/>
=== Cyclization of haloamines and amino alcohols ===
An ] functional group displaces the adjacent ] in an ] ] reaction to generate an aziridine. Amino alcohols have the same reactivity, but the ] group must first be converted into a good ]. The cyclization of an amino alcohol is called a ] (1935), and that of a haloamine the '''Gabriel ethylenimine method''' (1888) <ref></ref>


==Safety==
=== Nitrene addition ===
Aziridine is highly toxic with an ] of 14 mg (oral, rats). It is a skin irritant. As an ], it is also a mutagen.<ref name=Ullmann/> It is reactive toward DNA, potentially relevant to its mutagenicity.

=== Nucleophilic ring opening ===
Aziridines are reactive substrates in ring-opening reactions with many ]s due to their ]. Alcoholysis and aminolysis are basically the reverse reactions of the cyclizations. Carbon nucleophiles such as ]s and ]s are also effective.

One application of a ring-opening reaction in ] is that of ] {{chem|TMSN|3}} with an asymmetric ligand<ref>{{cite journal |author=Yuhei Fukuta, Tsuyoshi Mita, Nobuhisa Fukuda, Motomu Kanai, Masakatsu Shibasaki |title=De Novo Synthesis of Tamiflu via a Catalytic Asymmetric Ring-Opening of meso-Aziridines with TMSN3 |journal=] |volume=128 |issue=19 |pages=6312–3 |year=2006 |doi=10.1021/ja061696k }}

When the N-substituent is an ] such as a ] group, the ] breaks, forming another ] {{chem|TsN|-|–CH|2|–CH|2|+|–R}}<ref>{{cite journal |author=Ioana Ungureanua, Cristian Bologab, Saïd Chayera, André Mann |title=Phenylaziridine as a 1,3-dipole.

This reaction type requires a ] catalyst such as ]. In this way 2-phenyl-''N''-tosylaziridine reacts with alkynes, ]s, ]s and ]s. Certain 1,4-dipoles form from ]s.

==Human toxicology==

The toxicology of a particular aziridine compound depends on its structure and activity, although sharing the general characteristics of aziridines. As ]s, aziridines are subject to attack and ring-opening by endogenous nucleophiles such as nitrogenous bases in DNA base pairs, resulting in potential mutagenicity.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Kanerva L, Keskinen H, Autio P, Estlander T, Tuppurainen M, Jolanki R |title=Occupational respiratory and skin sensitization caused by polyfunctional aziridine hardener |journal=Clin Exp Allergy |volume=25 |issue=5 |pages=432–9 |date=May 1995 |pmid=7553246 |doi=10.1111/j.1365-2222.1995.tb01074.x }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |author=Sartorelli P, Pistolesi P, Cioni F, Napoli R, Sisinni AG, Bellussi L, Passali GC, Cherubini Di Simplicio E, Flori L |title=Skin and respiratory allergic disease caused by polyfunctional aziridine |journal=Med Lav |volume=94 |issue=3 |pages=285–95 |year=2003 |pmid=12918320 }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |author=Mapp CE |title=Agents, old and new, causing occupational asthma |journal=Occup. Environ. Med. |volume=58 |pages=354–60 |year=2001 |pmid=11303086 |doi=10.1136/oem.58.5.354 |issue=5 |pmc=1740131 }}</ref>

===Exposure===

Inhalation and direct contact.
Some reports note that the use of gloves has not prevented permeation of aziridine. It is therefore important that users check the breakthrough permeation times for gloves, and pay scrupulous attention to avoiding contamination when degloving.

===Carcinogenicity===

The ] (IARC) has reviewed aziridine compounds and classified them as possibly ] to humans (]).<ref>{{cite book |title=Some Aziridines, N-, S- and O-Mustards and Selenium |series=IARC Monographs on the Evalution of Carcinogenic Risks to Humans |volume=9 |year=1975 |isbn=92-832-1209-6 |format=PDF |url= http://monographs.iarc.fr/ENG/Monographs/vol9/volume9.pdf}}</ref> In making the overall evaluation, the IARC Working Group took into consideration that aziridine is a direct-acting ] which is ] in a wide range of test systems and forms DNA adducts that are promutagenic.

'''Irritancy'''

Aziridines are irritants of mucosal surfaces including eyes, nose, respiratory tract and skin.

'''Sensitization'''

Aziridine rapidly penetrates skin on contact.

Skin sensitizer — causing allergic contact dermatitis and ].

Respiratory sensitiser — causing occupational asthma
