Trimethylamine N-oxide as a precursor of azomethine ylides
Abstract
The first azomethine ylide devoid of a stabilizing group, generated by treating trimethylamine N-oxide with lithium di-isopropylamide, undergoes a ready [3 + 2] cycloaddition with various simple alkenes to give high yields of the corresponding pyrrolidines.
