A Reductive Amination Using Methyl Esters as Nominal Electrophiles

This report investigates a one-pot catalytic domino reaction for the synthesis of amines from methyl esters. The first step is a 1,5,7-Triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (TBD) catalysed amidation immediately followed by a zinc acetate catalysed reduction using phenyl silane as the terminal reductant. The...
