Efficient electrocatalytic aziridination of alkenes has been achieved for the first time. A structurally broad range of aziridines was easily accessed using an undivided cell operated at constant current and mediated by a catalytic quantity of n-Bu4NI. The electrocatalytic reaction also proceeded in the absence of additional conducting salt. The aziridination is proposed to follow a radical mechanism.
