Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00360a036

Bis(dichloroaluminum) phenylimide, which can be readily prepared from ethylaluminum dichloride and aniline, is shown to be a highly selective iminating agent for aldehydes, ketones, and acid chlorides.Especially the transformation of α,β-unsaturated keton
