Enediynes from aza-enediynes: C,N-dialkynyl imines undergo both aza-Bergman rearrangement and conversion to enediynes and fumaronitriles

Aza-enediynes (C,N-dialkynyl imines) undergo thermal aza-Bergman rearrangement to β-alkynyl acrylonitriles through 2,5-didehydropyridine (2,5-ddp) intermediates. Certain aza-enediynes also undergo an alternative process affording enediynes and fumaronitri
