Abstract

An efficient, one-pot, two-step reductive amination of alkenes through tandem ozonolysis using ammonia-borane as a reducing agent is described. The reaction has been carried out in water. This is a highly efficient and mild procedure that is applicable to a wide variety of amine substrates. In particular, this is the first successful manifestation that this type of reaction can be carried out in water with ammonia-borane. ... [Supplementary materials are available ...
