The chemistry ofN,N-bis (trialkylsilyloxy) enamines

The reactions of primary amines withN,N-bis(trimethylsilyloxy) enamines can give products of both mono-and bis-α-oximinoalkylation of primary amines. The steric restrictions in both reactants substantially retard bis-α-oximinoalkylation. A general method for the synthesis of α-amino-substituted oximes from primary amines and bis-silyl derivatives of aliphatic nitro compounds was developed.
