Extending this strategy to a bimolecular process, catalytic transfer hydrogenation of imines, enamines, and N-heterocycles is demonstrated using iPr2NH as the source of hydrogen and a catalytic amount of the Lewis acid B(C 6F5)3. ? 2011 American Chemical Society.Bimolecular process; Catalytic amounts; Catalytic transfer hydrogenation; Chiral amines; Enamines; Lewis Acid; N-heterocycles; TO effect; Transfer hydrogenations; Amines; Hydrogenationjournal article10.1021/om20058322-s2.0-80052438966
