[reaction: see text] Various five- and six-membered N-alkyl lactams were reduced to the corresponding cyclic amines using lithium N,N-dialkylaminoborohydrides (LAB). Most of the reductions were essentially complete after refluxing in THF for 2 h. The cyclic amine products were easily isolated after an aqueous workup in very good to excellent yields. It is possible to selectively reduce most functional groups, such as esters, in the presence of a lactam using LAB reagents.
[反应:见正文] 使用N,N-二烷基氨基硼氢化锂(LAB)将各种五元及六元N-烷基内酰胺还原为相应的环胺。在四氢呋喃(THF)中回流2小时后,大多数还原反应基本完成。经水相后处理,环胺产物易于分离,产率很高至极高。使用LAB试剂,有可能在存在内酰胺的情况下选择性还原大多数官能团,如酯基。
