Unless you ve studied chemistry in college, it s unlikely you ve come across the name aziridine. An organic compound with the molecular formula, C2H4NH, aziridines are well-known among medicinal chemists, who make use of the compound to prepare pharmaceutical drugs such as Mitomycin C, a chemotherapeutic agent known for its anti-tumor activity. Specifically, aziridines are what chemists call enantiomers molecules that are mirror images of each other and cannot be superposed on one another. A peculiarity with enantiomers is that the biological activity of one is different from its mirror image and only one of them is desirable for making drugs. Chemists, ther
