Abstract

A new procedure for reductive amination between ketones and ammonium acetate has been developed to access a variety of primary amines. This protocol takes advantage of microwave heating to significantly accelerate the reaction and offers a convenient and effective method to access some interesting amines. This new procedure compares favorably to previously reported approaches in terms of practicality, efficiency, and ...
