In the presence of an iridium compound, an imine of the following formula (1):wherein R1, R2 and R3 are each, identical to or different from one another, a hydrogen atom or a non-reactive organic group, where R1 and R2 may be combined to form a ring together with the adjacent carbon atom, is reacted with a diazoacetic acid derivative of the following formula (2):wherein R4 is a cyano group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, a carbamoyl group or the like, to yield an aziridine compound of the following formula (5):wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4 have the same meanings as defined above. The process can easily and efficiently produce aziridine compounds.
