Abstract

Abstract: Low-valent titanium readily prepared in situ from TiCl4 and Mg powder in THF is found to be an active agent for the reduction of amides which were previously considered to be inert towards low-valent titanium. The reaction proceeds under very mild conditions, and is applicable to all types of amides, primary, secondary and tertiary, to produce the corresponding amines in good to excellent yields. This new finding provides a practical, ...
