Abstract
Nonenolizable aldehydes react with lithium bis (trimethyLsily1) amide at ambient temperatures to afford solutions of N-trimethylsilyl aldimines. Treatment of these solutions with Grignard reagents or alkyllithiums followed by an aqueous workup gives primary amines in moderate to excellent yields. Treatment of N-trimethylsilyl aldimiies with ester enolates provides an expedient route to 1-unsubstituted 2-azetidinones.
