Alkoxy-N-methyl-acetiminium salts were prepared by addition of CH3OH and C2H5OH to N-methyl acetonitrilium fluorosulfonate at low temperature. Analysis of the (5)J(HH) and (3)J(13)C-H coupling constants in the NMR spectra showed an anti addition with a diastereoselectivity of >9596. Deprotonation of these salts with (Z)-configuration gave the corresponding N-methyl-alkoxyacetimines with very high (E)-configuration. Upon protonation at -78 degrees C, these iminoesters gave the corresponding alkoxy-N-methyl-acetirninium salts with (E)-configuration. Computational analyses of the iminoesters and the corresponding iminium cations including the conformations give insight into the relative stability. Nitrilium salts can be used as reagents, exemplified by some esterifications between simple acids and alcohols.
