Abstract

The reduction of unsubstituted amides to primary amines has often been accomplished by lithium aluminum hydride. 3 In discussion as to possible mechanisms for this type of reduction, attention has been directed to the nature of the complex hydride rather than to the organic moiety. With regard to the latter, it has been assumed that some species added to the carbonyl group as a first step.
