Abstract

The first clean and highly effective solvent-free chemoselective reduction of functionalized aldimines and ketimines bearing easily reducible functional groups, such as ketone, carboxylic acid, ester, nitrile, amide, nitro, furyl and alkenyl groups, to the corresponding amines using boric acid-activated sodium borohydride is described.

Key words

imines - reductions - chemoselectivity - sodium borohydride - solvent-free reaction

General Procedure for Chemoselective Reduction of Aldimines and Ketimines. A mixture of imine derivatives 1 (10 mmol), NaBH₄ (10 mmol) and boric acid (10 mmol) was ground with an agate mortar and pestle for 0.5-1.0 h until TLC showed complete disappearance of the starting material. The mixture was quenched with a sat. aq solution of NaHCO₃, followed by filtration of the resultant suspension to give product amines 2. When the product was liquid, it was isolated from extraction with CH₂Cl₂ or Et₂O instead of filtration. N -Phenyl-4-acetylbenzylamine ( 2a): Yield: 98%; white solid; mp 74-75 °C.
