Abstract

A simple, selective, rapid, and efficient procedure for the synthesis of secondary amines from the reductive alkylation of either aliphatic or aromatic nitro compounds and the corresponding amines is reported. Ammonium formate is used as the hydrogen source and Pd/C as the hydrogen transfer catalyst. The reaction is carried out at room temperature. The rate differences for the preferential formation of secondary over tertiary products are due to ...
