This article describes a selective reduction of functionalized amides, including N-acyl amino esters and dipeptides, to the corresponding amines using simple [Rh(acac)(cod)]. The catalyst shows excellent chemoselectivity in the presence of different sensitive functional moieties. A selective reduction of functionalized amides, including N-acyl amino esters and dipeptides, to the corresponding amines using simple [Rh(acac)(cod)] is described (see scheme). The catalyst shows excellent chemoselectivity in the presence of different sensitive functional moieties. Even the selective reduction of a secondary amide bond in the presence of a ketone is possible.
