Abstract

When treated with suitable alkyllithiums, arylimines may undergo single electron-transfer and conjugative substitution in the aryl ring, as well as nucleophilic addition to the imine bond. Multiple substitutions by tert-butyl radicals are noted, giving rise to rearranged and oxidized products, including cycloadducts.
