Does anyone has any experience working with this substance? Or have concret information on it? I only found useful info in wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetone_imine , which suggest that this substance is unstable at room temperature. I can't find any primary source that really explains this though; and the journal from which it was sourced was all in German.

Where on wiki does it say its not stable at RT?

There is this graph in the synthesis and reaction section that explains that acetone imine degrades to give a heterocycle. In addition, its preface explain that this compound is mostly of academical interest; with scarce information in the internet despite it being the simplest of imines. This led me to believe that it was probably too unstable to be of any practical use.
