28. The PM3 level molecular geometry optimization calculation done by MacSpartan Plus showed that the positive charge on the methylene carbon of N-benzyl-2-trifluoromethylaziridine is 0.15, while that of N-benzyl-2-methylaziridine is 0.04 and that of 2,3-epoxy-1,1,1-trifluoropropane is 0.09. Subtraction of the charge between the methylene carbon and nitrogen of N-benzyl-2-trifluoromethylaziridine is 0.59, while that of N-benzyl-2-methylaziridine is 0.52 and that of 2,3-epoxy-1,1,1-trifluorapropane is 0.32. The LUMO level of N-benzyl-2-trifluoromethylaziridine is -0.002 eV, while that of N-benzyl-2-methylaziridine is +0.298 eV and that of 2,3-epoxy-1,1,1-trifluoropropane is +0.699 eV.
