Abstract

Fox in the carboxamide: Reduction of tertiary carboxamides to their corresponding amines is catalyzed by [Fe(CO)5] or [Fe 3(CO)12], using 1,1,3,3tetramethyldlsiloxane (TMDS) as the reducing agent. The reaction proceeds under either thermal or photochemical conditions. Unlike the hydrosilane reduction of amides using platinum or ruthenlum catalysts, TMDS preferentially reduces a nitro group, even in the presence of competing amides.
