Abstract

Abstract Di-tert-butyl acylimidodicarbonates, prepared from primary amides with two equivalents of di-tert-butyl dicarbonate under catalysis by 4-dimethylaminopyridine, readily undergo selective reductive cleavage of their acyl CO-N bonds by NaBH 4 to provide the corresponding alcohols in high yields.
