oxidation of hydrazine derivatives generates
amino nirenes [32]. In particular, anodic
oxidation of N -phthalimide in the presence of
olefin provides the corresponding aziridine
derivatives in high yields, as shown in Figure
4.16 [33]. The reaction proceeds via anodically
generated aminonitrene.

Furthermore, anodic oxidation of bicyclic
amines and aliphatic amines devoid of
α-protons generates aminyl radicals efficiently.
