Abstract

STEREOSPECIFIC REACTION: idine nitrogen oxidized, since both oxidation levels are indicated from the metabolites i~ olated.~ Reductive amination of carbonyl compounds with sodium cyanoborohydride is a widely used way of making amines.* However, with conjugated aldehydes this reaction has been rather scantily inve~ tigated.~~,~ The reaction has been accompanied by double bond reduction5" and formation of 1, 3-diamino ...
