Mechanistic Study of the N-Formylation of Amines with Carbon Dioxide and Hydrosilanes

Paul Joseph Dyson, Gabor Laurenczy, Martin Hulla

N-formylation of amines with CO2 and hydrosilane reducing agents proceeds via fast and complex chemical equilibria, which hinder easy analysis of the reaction pathways. In situ reaction monitoring and kinetic studies reveal that three proposed pathways, vi ...
