Preparation of NN-dibromo-p-toluene sulfonamide The reagent NN-dibromo-p-toluene sulfonamide was prepared from Chloramine-T by

following literature procedure1 as follows.

Bromine (2 ml) was added drop wise to a solution of Chloramine-T.3H2O (10 g)

in water (200 ml) with constant stirring. The golden yellow precipitate of NN-dibromo-p-

toluene sulfonamide was filtered under suction, washed with water and dried in a

desiccator over P2O5 for 24 h.

General procedure for synthesis of aziridine: To a solution of olefin (1 mmol) and

K2CO3 (2.5 mmol), in dry ethyl acetate (5 ml), a solution of TsNBr2 (1.2 mmol) in dry

ethyl acetate (5 mL) was added with the aid of a dropping funnel under nitrogen

atmosphere. The reaction was stirred at room temperature under nitrogen atmosphere for

appropriate time (TLC). After completion of the reaction, an aqueous solution of 10%

sodium thiosulfate (5 mL) was added and the organic layer separated. The aqueous layer

was extracted with ethyl acetate, and the combined organic layer was washed with brine

and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated. The crude product was

purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (230–400 mesh) with petroleum

ether/ethyl acetate as eluent.

Procedure for synthesis of N-(p-tosy1)-l H-azepine: A mixture of TsNBr2 (0.33 g, 1

mmol) and K2CO3 (0.28 g, 2 mmol) of was taken in a schlenk tube. It was evacuated and

then back-filled with nitrogen. Then dry benzene (5 mL) was added under nitrogen

atmosphere and the tube was sealed properly. Then the reaction set up was heated to 150 o C for 5 hrs. After completion of the reaction, an aqueous solution of sodium thiosulfate

was added and the organic layer was separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with 1:1

petroleum ether - benzene, and the combined organic layer was washed with brine and

dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated. The crude product was purified by

flash chromatography on silica gel (230–400 mesh) with petroleum ether/benzene (1:1)

as eluent (Yield 54 mg, 22 %).
