✦ Synopsis
The Generation of N-silylated azomethine ylides was achieved by the reaction of asilylimidates and trifluorophenylsilane. The generated azomethine ylides can b¢ regarded as synthetic equivalents of nitrile ylides since they have an alkoxy group which may serve as a leaving group. Cycloaddition with acetylenic or olefinic dipolarophiles proceeded smoothly to give pyrrole or pyrroline derivatives in good to excellent yields, For example, ct-silylimidate I was treated with 1.2 equiv oftrifluorophenylsilane in the presence of I equiv of dimethyl aeetylenedicarboxylate to give pyrrole 2 in 97% yield. Furthermore, when starting with a secondary ot-silylamide, the one-pot synthesis ofN-unsubstituted azomethine ylides could be achieved by the successive treatment with alkylation and desilylation agents.

Azomethine ylides were generated from N-(a-silylbenzyl)amides by thermal silicon shift to the oxygen and trapped with dipolarophiles to give the same products as those from the corresponding nitrile ylides via elimination of silanol.
The novel generation and cycloaddition of azomethine ylides from an a-(trimethylsilyl)imine using (polyfluoro)silanes is described. The method was successfully applied to an efficient one-pot process. Namely, an azaallyl anion, generated by abstraction of the hydrogen a to an imino nitrogen, was tre
