Benzytriphenylphosphonium borohydride (BTPPB) as a selective reducing agent for reduction of imines, enamines, and reductive amination of aldehydes with primary and secondry amines in methanol

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/10426500108040597

Benzyltriphenyltriphenylphosphonium borohydride (BTPPB) (1) generated as white solid from benzyltriphenylphosphonium chloride and sodium borohydride is found to be a selective and versatile reducing agent. The reagent in methanol is very useful for reduction of imines, enamines and reductive animation of aldehydes.
