25. When PhMgCl was utilized with carbonitrile 1a under the present reaction conditions, the desired chloromethyl dihydropyrrole 4aa-Cl was obtained in only 41% yield.
26. Tetrahydropyridine 6 was found to be very unstable and decompose to a complex mixture at room temperature.
27. Brominated N-H imine 7 might be formed via allylic radical bromination, although we are not certain as to the detailed reaction course. For example, it is speculated that formation of N-bromoimine followed by its thermal hemolytic cleavage could generate iminyl and bromine radicals as shown below. 1,5-Hydrogen shift by radical abstraction of the allylic hydrogen with the iminyl radical could afford the allylic radical that could be trapped by the resulting bromine radical to give 7.
