Abstract
Abstract N -Picolinoyl-(2 S )-(diphenylhydroxymethyl)pyrrolidine was found to work as an organic activator in the reduction of aromatic imines to the corresponding amines by Cl 3 SiH. The highest selectivity was 80% ee. These are the first data showing that N -formyl group is not always essential as N-protecting group of pyrrolidine derivatives for the reduction of imines by Cl 3 SiH.
