38. For zwitterionic intermediates, reported earlier in low-temperature 3-aza Cope rearrangements, see Refs. 3 (Nubbemeyer) and 4 (Weston et al.). In our reactions the Z-5/E-5 isomerisation occurs after an irreversible protonation. It is unlikely that the reaction conditions could result in the deprotonation of the vinyl proton of the enamines, which would require a very strong base to be present.
