Aminoborohydrides. 11. Facile reduction of N-alkyl lactams to the corresponding amines using lithium aminoborohydrides.

Org. Lett. 1(5) , 799-801, (1999)

[reaction: see text] Various five- and six-membered N-alkyl lactams were reduced to the corresponding cyclic amines using lithium N,N-dialkylaminoborohydrides (LAB). Most of the reductions were essentially complete after refluxing in THF for 2 h. The cyclic a...
