The first-time use of the oxazaborolidine complex in transfer hydrogenation was accomplished. It was prepared without difficulty from cheap materials: ethanolamine and BH<sub>3</sub>·THF. A general and efficient method for copper-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of a variety of N-heteroaromatics with an oxazaborolidine-BH<sub>3</sub> complex under mild reaction conditions afforded the corresponding hydrogenated products in up to 96% yield. Mechanistic studies indicate that the hydrogen source or ...[more]
