Abstract
The base-induced aza-Claisen rearrangements of N-propynyl-N-β-methallyldimethylammonium salts in EtOH in the presence of NaBH4 resulted in the formation of enammonium salts, followed by tandem aza-Claisen [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement/hydride reduction to give (E)-aminoalkenes stereoselectively in good yield.
Key words

Optimized Experimental Procedure: To a solution of the quaternary ammonium salt 4 (338 mg, 0.83 mmol) and NaBH4 (154 mg, 4.15 mmol) in anhyd EtOH (10 mL) was added a solution of NaOEt (1.25 mmol) in anhyd EtOH (2 mL) at 0 °C. After stirring for 24 h at 0 °C, the solution was acidified with 10% aq HCl and then made basic with 10% aq NaOH. EtOH was removed under reduced pressure and the solution was extracted with EtOAc (3 × 30 mL). The combined extract was dried with MgSO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to afford (E)-aminoalkene 5 (200 mg, 73%). 5: FTIR (neat): 3480, 2850, 1455, 1360, 1090, 1070, 1030, 900, 735, 700 cm-1. 1H NMR (270 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 1.56 (s, 3 H), 1.65 (s, 3 H), 2.0-2.2 (m, 4 H), 2.17 (s, 6 H), 2.72 (s, 4 H), 4.03 (d, 2 H, J = 6.3 Hz), 4.50 (s, 2 H), 4.85 (s, 1 H), 4.94 (s, 1 H), 5.20 (t, 1 H,
