Description

A number of methods have been developed for the deoxygenation of amine-N-oxides, including agents such as low-valent titanium, Zn/HCOONH4, InCl3, tributyltin hydride, Pd/C, tetrathiomolybdate, SmI2, indium/NH4Cl, and Mo(CO)6, Cu(I)-Zn or Cu(I)-Al,11 RuCl3·xH2O, Zn/Cu-triflates. In conclusion, we have discovered that CeCl3·7H2O/Zn system mediates a selective and efficient deoxygenation of amine-N-oxides to the corresponding amines. Although the scope and limitations have not been fully established, the present procedure offers an attractive alternative to the conventional methods with its mildness and chemoselectivity as well as high yields. Further investigations of more useful applications with this system are currently in progress
