Graphical Abstract
Olefins can be converted into aziridines by using a chloramine-T/I2 system, and silica and water as the reaction medium (see picture). Moreover, the ring-opening reaction of the resulting aziridine with an azide or a cyanide ion proceeds in the same medium.

- 10Although substrates that have only an olefin moiety are adsorbed to the surface of silica in water by hydrophobic repulsion, the substrates with functional groups such as a hydroxy group have an ability to interact with the surface (terminal) of silica (HOSi), if they are not highly soluble in water.
