Abstract

A range of alternative, more environmentally conservative solvents have been evaluated for use within the direct reductive amination reactions of aldehydes using borane-based reductants. The data generated has been used to develop a guide to facilitate replacement of less desirable chlorinated solvents, such as DCE, from these widely used synthetic processes.
