Abstract

Abstract In the presence of alkylsilanes, the cationic Ir I complex [{Ir [bis (pyrazol-1-yl) methane](CO) 2} BPh 4](1) catalyses the reduction of a range of imines, including N-alkyl and N-aryl imines, and both aldimines and ketimines. Excellent conversions directly to the product amines are achieved rapidly at room temperature in methanol solution.(© Wiley- VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2005)
