Strecker reaction is widely applied for the synthesis of amino acids from aldehydes, amines and cyanides. Herein, we report the FeI2-catalyzed reductive Strecker type reaction of formamides instead of aldehydes to produce amino acetonitriles. The challenging capture of carbinolamine intermediates by CN? was achieved via Fe catalysis. This approach afforded better yields than the use of Ir- or Rh-catalysts. The application ability of this methodology is demonstrated by 1) one-pot construction of (13C labeled) complex molecules from CO2 via amino acetonitrile intermediates and 2) convenient production of homologated carboxylic acids from aldehydes.

We have developed a one-pot iron-catalysed sequential reaction of secondary amines with primary alcohols, trimethylsilyl cyanide and TBHP under mild reaction conditions to give the corresponding α-aminonitriles.

Reactions of bis(trifluoroacetoxy)borane-THF (1) with compounds containing representative organic functional groups were studied to determine the usefulness of 1 as a selective reducing agent.Reducible functionalities were indoles, ketones, aldehydes, imines, and compounds that readily generate carbocations in trifluoroacetic acid.Many functionalities were inert to 1.Epoxides and ortho esters suffered decomposition under the reaction conditions.Olefins and acetylenes were not hydroborated, and carboxylic acids were not reduced by 1.
