N2  - Flash vacuum pyrolysis of trimethylsilyl (E,E)-2-cyanohexa-2,4-dienoate(&#945;-cyanosorbate) (4) gives N-trimethylsilylaniline through O-to-N silyl transfer with decarboxylation, followed by rearrangement of intermediate N-silylketenimines (5) and (6). After hydrolysis, aniline is obtained in 53% yield from the &#945;-cyano acid (3).
