A Mild and Chemoselective Reduction of Cyclic Iminium Salts

Article abstract of DOI:10.1055/s-1985-31434

N-Substituted cyclic iminium salts are conveniently reduced to the corresponding tertiary amines in good yields by reaction with tributylstannane in methanol at room temperature.A variety of functional groups (such as ketonic groups) present in the molecule are not affected under these conditions.
