The authors accomplish the separation of diastereomers Xa,b and KIa,b obtained from chiral alkoxycarbonyl derivatives of hexafluoracetone oxime by reaction with CH/sub 2/N/sub 2/ through the corresponding triazolines, which were decomposed to the aziridines by photolysis or by the action of Et/sub 2/O.BF/sub 3/ at 20 C. Diasteromeric 1-alkoxycarbonyloxy-2,2-bis(trifluormethyl)ariridines, which were speated by crystallization and chromatography, under the influence of phenylhydrazine acylates give optically active 1-hydroxy-2,2-bis(trifluoromethyl)aziridine, on the basis of which optically active 1-tosyloxy-2,2-bis(trifluoromethyl)aziridine was obtained. The activation parameters of the epimerization of diasteromeric 1-alkoxycarbonyloxy-2,2-bis(trifluoromethyl)aziridine were found.
