Abstract
The lithium aluminium hydride reduction of N-2-(1,1-dichloroalkylidene)-anilines 3 afforded mainly the rearranged secondary amines 4 next to the normally expected secondary amines 5. The formation of the rearranged secondary amines 4 is explained by an aziridine intermediate. The highly branched derivative 3d gave the aziridine 6d in good yield, besides the secondary amine 5d.
