Abstract

Thermolysis of C,C-disubstituted N-(2-benzylideneamino)benzyl ketenimines in solution provided 2,2-disubstituted 3-(2-benzylideneamino)phenylpropionitriles by [1,3] migration of the substituted benzyl group from nitrogen to carbon in the ketenimine fragment.

Keywords: imine, ketenimine, nitrile
