Hydrogenative deoxygenation of organic compounds: Direct conversion of amides to alkanes

Abstract
Through the use of (Cp(2)TiH)(x) or (Cp(2)Ti)(1-2), in which Cp is C(5)H(5) (cyclopentadienyl ligand), it is possible to effect not only the previously known direct reduction of aldehydes and esters to alkanes but also the one-step conversion to alkane of amides derived from selected primary aromatic amines.
