Indium triiodide catalyzed reductive functionalization of amides via the single-stage treatment of hydrosilanes and organosilicon nucleophiles

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ol4015317

The indium triiodide catalyzed single-stage cascade reaction of N-sulfonyl amides with hydrosilanes and two types of organosilicon nucleophiles such as silyl cyanide and silyl enolates selectively promoted deoxygenative functionalization to give α-cyanoamines and β-aminocarbonyl compounds, respectively.
