Transformation of relatively less reactive functional groups under catalyst-free conditions is an interesting aspect and requires a typical protocol. Herein, we report the synthesis of various primary, secondary, and tertiary amines through hydroboration of amides using pinacolborane under catalyst-free and solvent-free conditions. The deoxygenative hydroboration of primary and secondary amides proceeded with excellent conversions. The comparatively less reactive tertiary amides were also converted to the corresponding N,N-diamines in moderate yields under catalyst-free conditions, although alcohols were obtained as a minor product.

Base-catalyzed hydrosilylation of nitriles to amines and esters to silylated alcohols is reported. This protocol tolerates electron-rich and electron-neutral olefins and works in the presence of basic functional groups (e. g. tertiary amines) but fails for acidic substrates, such as phenols and NH anilines. This catalytic system does not tolerate carbonyl groups, such as aldehydes, ketones, esters and carbamides, which are reduced to corresponding alcohols and amines. With the exact amount of silane, esters can be selectively reduced in the presence of nitriles, but the selectivity drops for the pairs ester/carboxamide and carboxamide/nitrile. Through competition experiments, the following preference in functional group reactivity was determined: ester > carboxamide > nitrile.

Deoxygenative reduction of amides is a challenging but favorable synthetic method of accessing amines. In the presence of a catalytic amount of Ca[N(SiMe3)2]2(THF)2, pinacolborane (HBpin) could efficiently reduce a broad scope of amides, primary amides in particular, into corresponding amines. Functional groups and heteroatoms showed good tolerance in this process of transformation, and a plausible reaction mechanism was proposed.
