Abstract

Recently we described a convenient synthesis of branched primary amines using a tandem addition-reduction pr~ cedure.~ Lithium-ammonia reduction was used in situ to reduce ketimines, prepared by addition of Grignard reagents to nitriles. In that study we noted-to our chagrin-that the addition of Grignard reagents to nitriles can be slow and even useless, particularly when the components are sterically hindered. Although the addition of ...
