Transfer Hydrogenation of imines using pentacarbomethoxycyclopentadiene(PCCP) as a catalyst and hantzsch ester as a hydrogen source

Abstract

Transfer hydrogenation of imines catalysed by Penta carbomethoxycyclopentadiene (PCCP) using Hantzsch ester as a Hydrogen source has been achieved. A wide range of secondary amines could be obtained in moderate to good yield.
