A versatile way for the synthesis of monomethylamines by reduction of N-substituted carbonylimidazoles with the NaBH4/I2 system

An economical and versatile protocol for the one-pot synthesis of monomethylamines by reduction of N-substituted carbonylimidazoles with NaBH4/I2 in THF at reflux temperature is described. This method used no special catalyst and various monomethylamines can be easily obtained in moderate to good yi...
