There is provided a process for the reduction of one or more amide moieties in a compound comprising contacting the compound with hydrogen gas and a transition metal catalyst in the presence or absence of a base under conditions for the reduction an amide bond. The presently described processes can be performed at low catalyst loading using relatively mild temperature and pressures, and optionally, in the presence or absence of a base or high catalyst loadings using low temperatures and pressures and high loadings of base to effect dynamic kinetic resolution of achiral amides.
提供了一种过程,用于在存在或不存在碱的条件下,将化合物与
氢气和过渡
金属催化剂接触,以还原一个或多个酰胺基团。目前描述的这些过程可以在低催化剂负载下进行,使用相对温和的温度和压力,并且可以选择在存在或不存在碱或高催化剂负载下使用低温和低压以及高负载碱的条件下,实现不对映体酰胺的动态动力学分辨。
