43. It is not clear at this stage, whether the elimination reaction proceeds according to an E2 mechanism, or E1cB. The fact that the methoxy group is a poor leaving group would rather support the latter.

Chem. 70 2005 3464 3471 As is reported in this article, the allylation reaction proceeds with much higher diastereoselectivity (98:2) using the same imine substituted with a 2-hydroxy-1-phenylethyl group rather than a 2-methoxy-1-phenylethyl group. We nonetheless chose the latter, because we were hoping we would be able to separate the diastereoisomers of the homoallylamine products, or of the corresponding acetamides 3f. This would have enabled us to synthesise both enantiomers of the secondary cyclopropylamine 1f.
