Solvent- and catalyst-free direct reductive amination of aldehydes and ketones with Hantzsch ester: Synthesis of secondary and tertiary amines

摘要

A facile and rapid method for the parallel synthesis of a series of secondary and tertiary amines by the direct reductive amination of aldehydes and ketones with Hantzsch ester under solvent- and catalyst-free has been developed. The scope and limitation of this method are described.
