Thermal Claisen rearrangement of N-allylanilines in undecane is accompanied by a parallel reaction involving elimination of the allyl fragment. The former reaction proceeds according to a (3,3)-sigmatropic mechanism with a varied structure of transition state, depending on the nature of the allyl substituent. The rearrangement of N-(2-chloro-1-methyl-2-butenyl)aniline has an autocatalytic nature on account of the HCl formed on elimination of the allyl fragment. The initial formation of an unreactive complex with composition (amine):(HCl) = 2:1, which decomposes by the action of a second HCl molecule, is postulated.
