The Products from the Reaction of N-(2-Bromoallyl)-ethylamine with Sodium Amide

Abstract

The principal product obtained from N-(2-bromoallyl)-ethylamine and sodium amide in liquid ammonnia has been shown to be N-ethylallenimine (I) as proposed by Ettlinger and Kennedy rather than N-ethylallylideneamine (II). N-Ethyl-propargylamine (III) was also isolated in small yield from this reaction. (2-chloroallyl)-ethylamine with potassium amide in liquid ammonia.
