Abstract

The series of substituted@-allyloxy enamines 4 was allowed to undergo Claisen rearrangement. The reaction proved to be faster for enamines derived from aliphatic than those from aromatic amines, the general substituent effects fitting Gajewski's oxaallyl-allyl radical model for these processes. The high stereoselectivity observed in these reactions leading to the 2-aminopent-Cenals 5 was assumed to occur via the more stable chairlike ...
