Abstract

The effect of the substituent R in the position was studied in the decomposition of 1,5-aminoalcohol N-oxides: Meisenheimer rearrangement takes place when R is the vinyl group but is not observed with the phenyl substituent; elimination to alkenol only affects the more acidic hydrogen atom when R is the allyl or benzyl group; with substituents inducing less important electronic effects (methyl, ethyl), the reaction yields an alkenols mixture with statistical distribution.
