KOBu t /DMSO-Mediated α-C-H Vinylation of N -Benzyl Ketimines with Acetylene Gas: Stereoselective Synthesis of ( E , Z )-2-Azadienes

Several imines, readily derived from aryl methyl ketones and benzylamines, react with acetylene gas in KOBu /DMSO system to afford 2-azadienes stereoselectively. This new C-C bond constructing reaction involves, instead of the expected ethynylation of the C═N bond, the addition of azaallyl anions to...

Summary:Several imines, readily derived from aryl methyl ketones and benzylamines, react with acetylene gas in KOBu /DMSO system to afford 2-azadienes stereoselectively. This new C-C bond constructing reaction involves, instead of the expected ethynylation of the C═N bond, the addition of azaallyl anions to the triple bond of acetylene.
