35. There is one example of a structurally characterized six-membered-ring derivative that exists as a bis-imine rather than an imine-enamine. In this case, however, both imine nitrogen atoms bear an unsaturated group (3-pentene-2-thione) that stabilizes the bis-imine form via conjugation: Jensen, H. P.; Kristensen, B. S.; Mosbaek, H.; Søtofte, I. Acta Chem. Scand. 1978, A32, 141-148
36. N -methyl mono-imines are calculated to be more stable than the corresponding enamines by 3.0 (five-membered), 1.6 (six-membered), and 0.3 kcal/mol (seven-membered).
37. 1-Methylcycloalkenes are more stable than methylenecycloalkanes by 3.3 (five-membered ring), 7.2 (six-membered ring), and 2.3 kcal/mol (seven-membered ring).

72. The ratio of molecular weights of polymers generated by 21 and 3 is 3.6, which is measurably higher than that obtained from end group analysis (2.3). This difference is most likely due to the slightly higher reactivity of 3 toward hydrogen compared to 21.
