Abstract
Lithium diisopropylamide undergoes an addition reaction to the methyleneamino moiety of the title Schiff's bases substituted with a cyano group at the ortho or para position of the aniline, but mediates tautomerization of the unsubstituted and meta-substituted derivatives into secondary enamines. Only the tautomerization is observed for lithium 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide-mediated reactions.
