Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 80P
An ion with a positively charged nitrogen atom in a three-membered ring is called an aziridinium ion. The following aziridinium ion react with sodium methoxide to form compounds A and B.
If a small amount of aqueous Br2 is added to A, the reddish color of Br2 persists, but the color disappears when Br2 is added to B. When the aziridinium ion reacts with methanol. only A is formed. Identify A and B.
