108. Despite many attempts, these imines cannot be isolated in pure form due to their easy decomposition during purification. Unlike other imines, they have seldom been isolated successfully and clearly characterized even employing the conventional condensation method. Therefore, these imines were mostly reported in GC yields. See: a) P. A. Burland, D. Coisson, H. M. I. Osborn, J. Org. Chem. 2010, 75, 7210-7218.
