Abstract
During the development of a sodium borohydride mediated reductive amination of 3- nitrobenzaldehyde with methylamine, studies revealed that partial reduction of the nitro group occurred, and potentially dangerous azo-and azoxy-containing products were generated. Borane-tert-butylamine activated with methanesulfonic acid was determined to be a safer reducing agent, and abuse tests on the reduction stage of the process have ...
