A method for the HMPA (hexamethylphosphoric triamide)-catalyzed metal-free transfer hydrogenation of pyridines has been developed. The functional group tolerance of the existing reaction conditions provides easy access to various piperidines with ester or ketone groups at the C-3 site. The suitability of this method for the reduction of other <i>N</i>-heteroarenes has also been demonstrated. Thirty-three examples of different substrates have been reduced to designed products with 45⁻96% yields. ...[more]
