Azirine is three-membered heterocyclic unsaturated (i.e. it contain a double bond) compound containing a nitrogen atom and related to the saturated analogue aziridine. Azirines are highly reactive yet have been reported in a few natural products such as Dysidazirine. There are two isomers of azirine: 1H-Azirines with a carbon-carbon double bond are not stable and rearrange to the tautomeric 2H-azirine, a compound with a carbon-nitrogen double bond. 2H-Azirines can be considered strained imines and are isolable.
