Abstract

Abstract A selective and direct access to secondary amines is reported by reductive mono-N- alkylation of primary amines in the presence of Ti (i-PrO) 4 and NaBH 4. Secondary amines are obtained exclusively from a set of carbonyl compounds and primary amines, demonstrating high chemoselectivity toward reductive mono-N-alkylation.
