Cannabis Compound Identification
Common Name2-Methylaziridine
Description2-MethylAziridine, also known as propyleneimine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as aziridines. It is a secondary amine and the smallest chiral aziridine (ring containing C2N). These are organic compounds containing a saturated three-member heterocycle with one amino group and two methylene groups. The chemical formula of 2-methylaziridine is CH3CH(NH)CH2. 2-Methylaziridine is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa) and it is a flammable colorless liquid. It is used in the paper, textile, rubber and pharmaceutical industries and its derivatives, copolymers and oligomers, are of commercial interest. The compound is also of interest for the synthesis of dendrimers, a process that exploits the tendency of aziridines to undergo ring-opening reactions. 2-Methylaziridine is also used in making paint. NIOSH considers 2-methylaziridine a potential occupational carcinogen. 2-Methylaziridine has also been found in the volatile fraction of Cannabis sativa samples obtained from police seizures (PMID: 26657499 ) and is likely a smoke component of marijuana ( Ref:DOI ).
