Nonenolizable aldehydes react with lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide at ambient temperatures to afford solutions of N-trimethylsilyl aldimines.Treatment of these solutions with Grignard reagents or alkyllithiums followed by an aqueous workup gives primary amines in moderate to excellent yields.Treatment of N-trimethylsilyl aldimines with ester enolates provides an expedient route to 1-unsubstituted 2-azetidinones.
