Abstract
The reaction of 10‐azidoacetyl‐10__H__‐phenothiazine with olefinic dipolarophiles depends on the reaction temperature. In refluxing toluene, a mixture of enamine and aziridine is formed in 3:1 ratio. The reaction mechanism appears to involve a Michael‐type addition of the nucleophilic N^1^ azide atom to the olefinic double bond. In chloroform, a cycloaddition reaction takes place with the formation of a 4,5‐dihydro‐1,2,3‐triazole. The heating of dihydrotriazoles in toluene is accompanied by nitrogen elimination leading to a mixture of enamine and aziridine in 1:3 ratio. J. Heterocyclic Chem., 2011.
