15. Satisfactory 1H- and 13C-NMR, IR, MS, HRMS and/or analysis were obtained for all new compounds.
16. Attempted rearrangement of this compound under a variety of different conditions only gave tert-butoxycarbonylbenzylamine as biproduct. This product has been detected before in the attempted rearrangement of a Z-crotyl amine derivative (see ).

21. Use of n-BuLi or MeLi as base caused destannylation and then rearrangement to give 2 3 a (2:1) in 32 and 55% yield respectively with ~20% destannylated starting material.
