Abstract

The synthesis of amines has long been of interest due to their physiological activity and their potential as organic intermediates. Brown reported that organoboranes could be utilized to produce amines by treating them with chloraniinel or hydroxylamine-0-sulfonic acid. 2 The reactions involve the regiospecific replacement of the boron atom by the amino group. These reactions have not been utilized extensively, presumably due to the cumbersome ...
