Herein, we report the first example of efficient reductive amination of ketones/aldehydes with amines using BHN(CH) as a catalyst and a reductant under mild conditions, affording various tertiary and secondary amines in excellent yields. A mechanistic study indicates that BHN(CH) plays a dual function role of promoting imine and iminium formation and serving as a reductant in reductive amination.
在此，我们报道了首例在温和条件下使用BHN(CH)作为催化剂和还原剂，实现酮/醛与胺的高效还原胺化反应，以优异的产率得到各种叔胺和仲胺。机理研究表明，BHN(CH)在还原胺化反应中发挥促进亚胺和亚胺鎓形成以及作为还原剂的双重作用。
