A visible-light photocalytic method for the chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of imines in batch and continuous flow is described. The reaction utilizes Et3N as both hydrogen source and single-electron donor, enabling the selective reduction of imines derived from diarylketimines containing other reducible functional groups including nitriles, halides, esters, and ketones. The dual role of Et3N was confirmed by fluorescence quenching measurements, transient absorption spectroscopy, and deuterium-labeling studies. Continuous-flow processing facilitates straightforward scale-up of the reaction.

An unexpected compound, the aniline derived benzophenone imine, was isolated when tritylamine was treated with n-BuLi and alkyl halides, during the formation of N-alkyl tritylamines, in the process of preparing primary amines. A nucleophilic attack of the nitrogen anion of tritylamide on the adjacent C-bonded phenyl, either substituted or not, involving a bridging anionic intermediate, is proposed for this base-induced tritylamine rearrangement to produce the corresponding imine. Electron-withdrawing groups in the aromatic ring, favoring the negative charge development, affect the relative migratory tendencies.
