Palladium and Raney Nickel Catalyzed Methanolic Cleavage of Stable Borane−Amine Complexes

Abstract
Palladium and Raney nickel were found to catalyze the methanolysis of borane−amine adducts. Hence, strongly complexed amines can now be liberated by simple treatment with Pd/C or Raney Ni in methanol. The method is applicable to primary, secondary, tertiary, and aromatic amines, and the mildness of the reaction conditions allows preservation of otherwise labile functional groups.
