Mechanism of hydrogen transfer in the reduction of the imine bond by an NADH model. Use of cyclopropane ring as a chemical probe

Abstract
Reduction of N-cyclopropylmethylenephenylamine by 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydropyridine (Hantzsch ester) results in the exclusive formation of N-cyclopropylmethylaniline, whereas reduction with triphenyltin hydride gives both N-cyclopropylmethylaniline and n-butylaniline, a product of cyclopropane ring cleavage.
