Abstract

Sir: Imines have been relatively under utilized (yet easily prepared2 ) functional groups in the synthesis of hetero- cycles. Recently, certain derivatives of imines have been employed in cycloaddition chemi~try,~ and addition reac- tions to the imine moiety have been reported4 (primarily via activation with Lewis acids), opening new opportunities for the construction of aza heterocyclic compounds. In- deed, an intramolecular extension of this latter process
