complex presented higher reactivity in the transferhydrogenation (TH) of ketones in 2-propanol. Experimentally, it was established that both the benzimidazole and amine N–H proton played a vital role in the enhancement of the catalytic activity. Utilizing this system a wide range of aldehydes and ketones were reduced efficiently. Notably, the TH of several imines, as well as chemoselective reduction of
A mild and efficient method for N-alkylation of aromatic amines with various acetals such as aryl, alkyl, cyclic and acyclic acetals was developed. A number of aromatic amines bearing electron-donating or electron-withdrawing substituents were directly alkylated by acetals with excellent yields. The method uses a catalytic amount of I2 and triethylsilane as the hydride source without a metal present
Aldehydes and ketones were reductively aminated by a one‐pot procedure using a recyclable iron‐based Lewis catalyst, Aquivion‐Fe, to promote imine formation, and NaBH4 as reductant in cyclopentyl methyl ether and methanol. The developed protocol was successfully applied to the preparation of Cinacalcet, an important active pharmaceutical ingredient.

Cobalt phthalocyanine has been employed for the highlychemoselectivereductiveamination of aldehydes and ketones in ethanol as a greensolvent. A large range of functional groups such as nitro, acid, amide, ester, nitrile, halogen, lactone, methoxy, hydroxy, alkene, N‐benzyl, O‐benzyl and heterocyclic rings were well tolerated under the present reaction conditions.

successfully developed a single nucleotide (adenosine 5′‐diphosphate)‐catalyzed enantioselective direct reductiveamination of aldehydes and ketones using a Hantzsch ester as reducing agent. The process is a simple, efficient and a real mimic of the NADH reduction approach for the synthesis of structurally diverse amines. This reaction is the first report demonstrating the ability of a single nucleotide as catalyst
