Abstract
Abstract The 2-azaallyl anions derived from N-(1-cyanoalkyl)imines and DBU undergo Michael addition or alkylation to produce N-(1-alkylated 1-cyanoalkyl)imines. The Michael addition of some aryl-substituted imines are highly diastereoselective. The alkylated Michael adducts are converted into lactams through a hydrolysis and recyclization sequence. Base-induced cyclization furnishes 1-pyrrolines through a cyclization and HCN elimination sequence. In the latter reaction, 4,5-cis-1-pyrrolines are selectively produced when the adducts are treated with LDA in the presence of lithium iodide.
