Sodium Triethylborohydride-Catalyzed Controlled Reduction of Unactivated Amides to Secondary or Tertiary Amines

The first transition-metal-free catalytic protocol for controlled reduction of amide functions using cheap and bench-stable hydrosilanes as reducing agents has been established. By altering the hydrosilane and solvent, the new method enables the selective cleavage of unactivated C-O bonds in amides and allows the C-N bonds to selectively break via the deacylated cleavage. Overall, this novel process may offer a versatile alternative to current methodologies employing stoichiometric metal systems for the controlled reduction of carboxamides.

Method for selective reducing reaction of tertiary aryl amide and borane

The present invention relates to a method for a selective reducing reaction of a tertiary aryl amide and borane. A tertiary amine product is prepared by the reducing reaction of a tertiary aryl amidederivative and a cheap and easily available organoboron reagent under mild conditions under the convenient catalysis of a non-transition metal compound sodium triethylborohydride used as a catalyst for the first time. Compared with traditional methods, the method of the method generally has the advantages of wide universality of a substrate, low cost and easy availability of the catalyst, and simplicity in reaction operation. The selective reducing reaction of the tertiary aryl amide compound and the organoboron reagent under the catalysis of the transition metal catalyst is realized for the first time, and a brand new "green" reaction strategy is provided for the laboratory preparation or industrial production of tertiary arylamine products.
