1,3-Prototropic rearrangement of N-diphenylmethanimines was successful
ly performed with a catalytic amount of potassium tert-butoxide. This
procedure can also be used with aliphatic and aromatic aldimines and w
as extended to the isomerization of (1R)-camphorquinone monoimine and
-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-phenyl-3-iminoazetidin-2-one. The isomerized imin
es were easily hydrolyzed and isolated as Cbz derivatives.
