Abstract

Abstract Image

Tertiary amides are efficiently reduced to their corresponding enamines under hydrosilylation conditions, using a transition-metal-free catalytic protocol based on t-BuOK (5 mol %) and (MeO)3SiH or (EtO)3SiH as the reducing agent. The enamines were formed with high selectivity in good-to-excellent yields.
