Abstract

Abstract: Reductive amination of carbonyl compounds with primary and secondary ammonium salts was performed by tributyltin hydride in DMF solvent at room temperature. A variety of secondary and tertiary amines including sterically hindered ones could be synthesized in one-pot procedure. No side reaction such as the reduction of starting carbonyl or overalkylation was detected. Key words: reductive amination, tin hydride, ...
