Abstract A series of γ, δ-unsaturated azo compounds was prepared by thermal isomerization of allylalkylhydrazones obtained from the simplest carbonyl compounds. The oxidation of N- aminophthalimide with lead tetraacetate in the presence of these unsaturated compounds gave rise to mixtures of adducts at the azo group, regioisomers of phthalimidoazimines. The oxidative addition of N-aminophthalimide to 1-isopropylazocycloalkenes afforded bicyclic ...
