Generation of Azomethine Ylides via the Desilylation Reaction of Immonium Salts

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00192a013

Generation of intermediates having azomethine ylide reactivity was achieved by the reaction of several ethanol or thioimidate derivatives with methyl iodide followed by treatment of the resulting imine with (trimethylsilyl)methyl triflate.Desilylation of
