Abstract

The efficient catalytic reduction of imines with phenylsilane is achieved by using the potassium, calcium and strontium based catalysts [(DMAT)K (THF)]∞, (DMAT)2Ca⋅(THF)2 and (DMAT)2Sr⋅(THF)2 (DMAT=2-dimethylamino-α-trimethylsilylbenzyl). Eight different aldimines and the ketimine Ph2C=NPh could be successfully reduced by PhSiH3 at temperatures between 25–60 °C with catalyst loadings down to 2.5 mol %. Also, simple amides like KN(SiMe3)2 or Ae[N(SiMe3)2]2 (Ae=Ca, Sr, Ba) catalyze this reaction. Activities increase with metal size. For most substrates the activity increases along the row K
