Abstract

We have now extended our study of nitrene reactions to enamines. There are few examples of reactions between nitrenes and amines in the literature. Tertiary amines gave isolable or supposed NN ylides (aminimides) by addition of electron-deficient nitrene to the nonbonded electron pair. 4 Enamines were, therefore, an interesting substrate for testing the preference of the nitrene to add to the double bond or to the electron pair to give substituted aziridines ...
