Formation of α-iminoketones and α-diimines versus Favorskii rearrangement products from the reaction of α,α′-dibromoketones and primary amines
The reaction of aliphatic acyclic α,α'-dibromoketones with primary amines gave rise to α-iminoketones and α-diimines. Both reaction products could be selectively obtained under appropriate reaction conditions. Sterically hindered α,α-dibromoketones did no
