Due to its alkene moiety and highly strained aziridine scaffold, vinylaziridines represent a versatile type of synthetic building blocks and can undergo various chemcial transformations. These transformations enabled facile synthesis of a wide range of nitrogen-containing compounds, especially diverse nitrogen heterocycles, inculding azetidines, pyrrolidines, piperidines, azacycloheptanes and so on. Moreover, development of simple and efficient synthetic methods for various substituted vinylaziridines, stimulating their applications in the fields of organic synthesis, medicinal and agrochemistry, as well as fine chemistry. In recent years, such type of reagents continue to attract considerable research efforts from chemists and enjoyed rapid development. The representative examples of nucleophilic ring-opening and cyclization reactions of vinyl-aziridines over the past five years are summarized. Moreover, the prospects of further development are also disscussed.

Key words: vinylaziridines, aziridines, ring-opening reaction, cyclization reaction, nitrogen heterocycles
