We have observed that electron-deficient aldehydes also undergo rapid attack by the α-aminoalkoxides to give α-amino-ω-alkoxy polyacetals, making these aldehydes unavailable for conversion to allenes in the presence of excess amide base.

No such metallacycles are formed in the titanium-alkoxide system described above, but both processes may proceed through allenic phosphorane intermediates.
