[alpha]-Oxophosphonium ylides (3a-3e) react with N-chlorosuccinimide and N-bromosuccinimide in the presence of azidotrimethylsilane giving the corresponding haloazidoalkenes (4a-4g) with elimination of triphenylphosphine oxide. These compounds were completely converted to the 2H-azirines 5a-5g on heating in heptane. ; http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B6THS-3VXSK6D-3T/1/9eb19b08a4875f23803d57d6eca5b2d2
