Abstract
The reaction of nBuNa with (S)-N-(α-methylbenzyl)allylamine, followed by the addition of tmeda, gives a chiral sodium 1-azaallyl complex, {[(S)-α-[PhC(H)MeN..-C-(H)..-CHCH3)] Na·tmeda}2, as confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction and solution NMR spectroscopy, and is most likely the result of a 1,3-sigmatropic rearrangement and subsequent delocalisation within the resulting enamide.
