Abstract

The deprotonation of N′-arylurea derivatives of cyclohexenamines by alkyllithiums leads to migration of the N′-aryl substituent from N′ to the allylic position α to N via rearrangement of a urea-stabilised allyllithium intermediate. The product ureas may be solvolysed to reveal 1-arylcyclohexenamines.
