An oxaziridine is an organic molecule that features a three-membered heterocycle containing oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon. In their largest industrial application, oxaziridines are intermediates in the production of hydrazine. Oxaziridine derivatives are also used as specialized organic chemistry reagents for a variety of enantioselective oxidations and aminations. Oxaziridines also serve as precursors to nitrones and participate in [3+2] cycloadditions with various heterocumulenes to form substituted five-membered heterocycles.
