Abstract

When treated with the LIDAKOR mixture, allyl type ethers very readily undergo 1, 4- elimination to afford conjugated dienes (3-73). In typical cases, the reaction is brought about stereo-and regioselectively (2 and 7, respectively). Under suitable conditions, lithium dimethylamide or even lithium diisopropylamide adds to the dienes generated in situ thus leading to a variety of new allyl amines (5-8).
