A novel [2,3] intramolecular rearrangement of N-benzyl-O-allylhydroxylamines

Abstract

A novel [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement whereby N-benzyl-O-allylhydroxylamines undergo transformation to the corresponding N-allylhydroxylamines, which can subsequently be reduced to the corresponding allylamines, is described and evidence for the intramolecular nature of this process presented.
