The most unusual feature of the Willgerodt-Kindler Reactions is the facile isomerization of the carbonyl function along a chain of unbranched methylene groups, or around a cycloaliphatic ring containing several connected methylene groups.We have demonstrated that the first step in the Kindler process is the formation of enamines by reaction of the carbonyl function with secondary aliphatic amines, followed by reaction of the enamine with certain sulfur-amine catalysts to form reactive heterocyclic sulfur intermediates that facilitate the elimination-readdition of the amines reversibly along the chain.It was shown that compounds of the type R2N-S-S-NR2 are effective catalysts but not compounds of the type R2N-S-NR2.Some cyclohexanone derivatives undergo aromatization, with anomalous results in certain cases.

Vinylsilanes are shown to be valuable synthetic intermediates in useful transformations of ketones.The epoxidation of vinylsilanes followed by lithium aluminium hydride reduction and oxidation with chromic acid and sulfuric acid in a two-phase (ether/water) system often gives high yields of 1,2-transposed ketones.With singlet oxygen and sequential sodium borohydride reduction, 2-trimethylsilyl alcohols are produced in which the α position of the parent ketone has been regiospecifically oxygenated.Fluoride ion promoted desilylation completes the conversion to the migrated allylic alcohol.
