Abstract
Thermolysis of activated N-cyanoalkyl amines (5) provides access to ac yclic azomethine ylides (6). The allenic N-cyanoalkyl amine (10a) unde rgoes Ag(I)-catalysed cyclisation followed by thermally-induced loss o f HCN from (11a) to provide the heterocyclic ylide (12) which has been trapped by N-methyl maleimide.
