N-Benzyl-2-benzoyl-2-methylpropanimine treated with nucleophiles undergoes a fragmentation reaction that can be envisaged as a retro-enereaction via the formation of an intermediate hemiketal.
The title compounds 4 were prepared from β-iminoketones 2 by reaction with simple α-lithiated esters 3 through a thermally controlled process. Some reactions of the title compounds 4 are also reported, in spite of their facile thermolysis.
