Abstract
Several imines, readily derived from aryl methyl ketones and benzylamines, react with acetylene gas in KOBut/DMSO system to afford 2-azadienes stereoselectively. This new C-C bond constructing reaction involves, instead of the expected ethynylation of the C═N bond, the addition of azaallyl anions to the triple bond of acetylene.
