Abstract

Abstract Synthetic methods for highly regioselective deprotonation of methyl n-alkyl, n-alkyl, and n-alkyl sec-alkyl ketamines are described which permit electrophilic substitution at either structurally isomeric or stereoisomeric positions of ketimines derived from unsymmetrical acyclic ketones.
