Treatment of N-(trimethylstannyl)methanimines or N-(tri-n-butylstannyl)methanimines with methyllithium or n-butyllithium, respectively, affords 2-azaallyl anions by tin-lithium exchange. These anions undergo intermolecular or intramolecular [π4s + π2s] cycloadditions with alkenes and alkynes to generate pyrrolidines or pyrrolines after quenching with water or other electrophiles. The tin-lithium exchange method allows unstabilized 2-azaallyl anions to be generated for the first time. The lifetime of the anions is limited by a competing intermolecular side reaction. Therefore, relatively reactive alkenes and alkynes must be used, such as stilbene, styrenes, enynes, diphenylacetylene, vinyl sulfides, vinyl selenides, and vinyl silanes. The latter three types of anionophiles afford functionalized cycloadducts which may be transformed into more useful pyrrolidines by reduction, elimination, or oxidation. A synthesis of the alkaloid (±)-mesembrane was accomplished using an intramolecular 2-azaallyl anion cycloaddition.

N-(Silylmethyl)imines generate N-protonated azomethine ylides of nonstabilized type when treated with water in HMPA, which undergo stereospecific and regioselective cycloadditions with electron-poor olefins affording N-unsubstituted pyrrolidines.On the other hand, fluoride-induced desilylation of the imines leads to 2-azallyl anions which are found to be synthetic equivalents of aminomethyl anion in the Michael additions with electron-poor olefins and nucleophilic additions with carbonyl compounds.
