N ‐ Tosyl 3,3 ‐ dialkyl ‐ 2 ‐ ( tert ‐ butyldiphenylsilylmethyl)azetidines rearrange smoothly into the corresponding 2 ‐ alkenyl ‐ 3 ‐ ( tert ‐ butyldiphenylsilyl)amines upon exposure to BF 3 · OEt 2 in CH 2 Cl 2 . The reaction involves sequential σ C–N bond cleavage, 1,2 ‐ migration of the N ‐ tosyl‐aminomethyl group, and deprotonation of the resultant tert ‐ carbenium ions. For the instance in which the carbenium ion formed from migration of the N ‐ tosyl‐aminomethyl group is highly stable by virtue of being, for example, tertiary as well as benzylic, the migration takes place in sync with σ C–N bond cleavage, which leads to high configurational control at the tert ‐butyldiphenylsilylmethyl ‐ bearing carbon atom in the product.
