We began our studies with allylations to imines 12 and 13 for a direct comparison to the allylations performed previously on the analogous aldehydes. Synthetic access to imines 12 and 13 was achieved in a couple of steps from the known analogous aldehyde precursors 8 and 9, through precipitation and isolation of amidosulfones 10 and 11 (Scheme 1). We hypothesized that should a six-membered chelate form, the anti product would predominate, such as in the case of the analogous aldehydes.
