A very good control of the regioselectivity occurs in the deprotonation of imino derivatives of bis(trimethylsilyl) methylamine (BSMA) followed by quenching with electrophiles. Functionalization at C-1, C-3 or C-4 takes place selectively depending on the nature of the electrophile and of the base employed. This methodology provides an entry to a wide class of novel, functionalized, silylated imino derivatives.
