BY LAWRENCE H. AMUNDSEN AND WILLIAM F. BRILL l-Chloro-5-methoxy-2-pentene and 3-chloro-5-methoxy-l-pentene, readily obtainable as the 1, 4-and 1, a-addition products, respectively, of chloromethyl ether to 1, 3-butadiene, react readily with ammonia and with amines to give the expected unsaturated amino ethers. With the secondary chloride, however, there is partial allylic rearrangement during amination, so that along with the ...
