R. Bruckner et R. Huisgen, HOMOALLYL CYANIDE AND N-ALLYLKETENE IMINE - A [3,3]SIGMATROPIC EQUILIBRIUM, Tetrahedron letters, 35(20), 1994, pp. 3281-3284
The [sic],delta-unsaturated nitrile 2 equilibrates at room temperature
with the N-allylketene imine 3. Deuterium labeling established an int
ramolecular rearrangement, and the small influence of solvent polarity
on the rare constants is in accordance with a concerted [3,3]sigmatro
pic shift.
