Abstract:

Aziridine and its N-substituted derivatives could undergo nucleophilic ring opening reaction with biological molecules, leading to their alkylation and the loss of their biological activities. For this purpose, ethyl 4-[N-methyl-N-(2,3-aziridinyl)amino]benzoate and diethyl N-{4-[N-methyl-N-(2,3-aziridinyl)amino]benzoyl}-L-glutamate, as the key intermediates in the synthesis of new anticancer agents, were designed and synthesized via four steps of reactions in good yields.

Key words: Aziridine derivatives, Intermediates, Anticancer agents, Synthesis
