26. 2OLi group cannot be metalated further and acid hydrolysis leads to an α-aminoalcohol that decomposes to give 1 and formaldehyde. The implication of a diacetylated species (by reaction of 10 with a second molecule of RCOX) on the reaction coordinate to explain the formation of 4a-d can be ruled out since only one equivalent of amide is required to give a high yield of 4a-d. See ref. 5a.
