Abstract

The catalyst-free N-formylation of amines using CO2 as the C1 source and BH3NH3 as the reductant has been developed for the first time. The corresponding formylated products of both primary and secondary amines are obtained in good to excellent yields (up to 96% of isolated yield) under mild conditions.
