PhMe2SiLi reacts with tertiary amides to give enediamines, which can be isolated in good yield when the α-carbon is branched; the enediamines can be hydrolysed more or less easily to α-amino ketones, isomerised from Z to E, oxidised to dienedia

The reactions of the silyllithium reagent with tertiary amides was discussed. The enediamines were easily isomerized from cis to trans, easily oxidized to dienediamines and were hydrolyzed to α-aminoketones. If the two equivalents of the silyllithium reagent were used, the product was an α-silylamine. The results show that each member of the homologous series of amides gives rise to a substantially different product.
