Triphenylborane (BPh3) was found to catalyze the reduction of tertiary amides with hydrosilanes to give amines under mild condition with high chemoselectivity in the presence of ketones, esters, and imines. N,N-Dimethylacrylamide was reduced to provide the alpha-silyl amide. Preliminary studies indicate that the hydrosilylation catalyzed by BPh3 may be mechanistically different from that catalyzed by the more electrophilic B(C6F5)(3).
