Facile reduction of alkylamino-, anilino-, and pyridyl-N-oxides can be achieved via the use of diboron reagents, predominantly bis- (pinacolato)- and in some cases bis(catecholato)diboron [(pinB)2 and (catB)2, respectively]. Reductions occur upon simply mixing the amine N oxide and the diboron reagent in a suitable solvent, at a suitable temperature. Extremely fast reductions of alkylamino- and anilino-N-oxides occur, whereas pyridyl-N-oxides undergo slower reduction. The reaction is tolerant of a variety of functionalities such as hydroxyl, thiol, and cyano groups, as well as halogens. Notably, a sensitive nucleoside N-oxide has also been reduced efficiently. The different rates with which alkylamino- and pyridyl-N-oxides are reduced has been used to perform stepwise reduction of the N,N-dioxide of (S)-(-)-nicotine. Because it was observed that (pinB)2 was unaffected by the water of hydration in amine oxides, the feasibility of using water as solvent was evaluated. These reactions also proceeded exceptionally well, giving high product yields. In constrast to the reactions with (pinB)2, triethylborane reduced alkylamino-N oxides, but pyridine N-oxide did not undergo efficient reduction even at elevated temperature. Finally, the mechanism of the reductive process by (pinB)2 has been probed by 1H and 11B NMR. (Figure presented) ; 2011 American Chemical Society.

Starting from (-)-nicotine, two new 2,2'-bipyridine ligands 6 and 7 with chiral pyrrolidine side chains have been synthesized. The stoichiometric complexation by palladium(II) or mercury(II) ions gives the bipyridyl complexes 8 and 9.
