of synthesis of divinyl ketones have been reported ‘8, however the
preparation of such compounds is far from simple *.Moreover the preparation of the (I- p-unsaturated
imines
from amines and carbonyl compounds, specially in the case of ketones, only yields good results in very specific cases 9 and it generally leads to Michael additionlO. In this context we have recently studied the [2+ 21 cycloaddition

phosphonium ylides and the related isoelectronic xs=phospazenes **aswell as their ability as starting materials in the preparation

on the
basis of their spectroscopic data 17.For instance, the enaminic =CH of 4a give a ‘H resonance at 6 = 4.85 ppm (‘J, = 14.1 Hz) and a 13Cresonance at 6 = 61.4 ppm(‘J, = 117.9 Hz) as well resolved doublets, while the vicinal coupling constant
