Dichloroborane-Dimethyl Sulfide, A Highly Selective Reducing Agent for Reductionof Organyl Azides to Amines

摘要

Dichloroborane-dimethyl sulfide reduces a variety of organyl azides, includingprimary, secondary, tertiary alkyl, cycloalkyl, aromatic, and benzylic, to the corresponding amines in excellent yields. The reagent is highly selective and many functional groups, such as halogen, ester, nitrile, aliphatic and aromatic nitro, survive in this process. jg p.3.
