27. One of the possibilities of the reaction course for the formation of deallylated amide 7 is outlined below. It might commence with radical 1,5-H shift from putative iminyl copper species to give allylic radical, further oxidation of which would afford allylic cation species. Addition of water to the carbocation followed by C-N bond cleavage from resulting hemiaminal could deliver deallylated amide 7 (Scheme 8). We recently reported similar 1,5-H shift from iminyl copper species, see:, Zhane L, Ang G Y., Chiba S, Org. Lett. 2011 13 1622
