Enamines normally react with methyl iodide to give two products: one arising from alkylation at nitrogen and the second arising from alkylation at carbon. For example, Heating the mixture of C-alkylation and N-alkylation products gives only the product from C-alkylation. Propose a mechanism for this isomerization.
Reaction of -pinene with borane followed by treatment of the resulting trialkylborane with alkaline hydrogen peroxide gives the following alcohol.
