Rearranging its feathers : The transformation of simple linear amides into a diverse range of branched, functionalized products by conversion to iminium esters is followed by sequential treatment with nucleophiles and electrophiles (see scheme). The method takes advantage of a novel Claisen rearrangement and the use of aromatic substrates greatly facilitates the formation of the intermediate iminium ether.
