✦ Synopsis

Hydrostannation of N-heteroatom-substituted imines such as oxime ethers, hydrazones, oximes, nitrones, and N-sulfonyl imines using a combination of Bu 3 SnH and BF 3 •OEt 2 has been systematically studied. Not only aromatic aldimines but also kitimines and aliphatic imines were reduced to give the corresponding amines.
