Significance
The catalytic reduction of amides to amines is a highly desirable transformation in organic synthesis. For the first time, an efficient reduction of tertiary amides with unprecedented chemoselectivity and unique tolerance to functional groups is reported. Amides can be selectively reduced in excellent yields in the presence of ester, nitro, cyano, azo substituents, or even a ketone.
