Prolonged reaction of some ketones with benzylamine at reflux converts them into α-benzyl derivatives by a route involving aldol condensation of the related ketimine with benzaldimine followed by exclusive reduction of the resultant C-C double bond by hydride transfer from benzylamine. This efficient procedure is a variant of the Sommelet reaction for the synthesis of aldehydes.
