ChemInform Abstract

Seven secondary amines such as (II) are prepared by reduction of the corresponding azomethines (I) with zinc borohydride. Addition of the Grignard reagents (IV) to the nitriles (III) and subsequent reduction with zinc borohydride yield the branched primary amines (V) after hydrolysis.
