Abstract

The addition of organometallic reagents to imines is often a poor synthetic reaction due to competing processes such as a-deprotonation and reductive dimerization. Alkyl and aryl Grignard and organolithium species have proven particularly troublesome, although some useful solutions to the problem have recently been presented1-4.
