Abstract
In methoiodides of α-aminoketones and in aminoaldehydes with the grouping-COCH2-NR3 (+) or -COCH=CH-NR3 (+) the C-N(+)-bond is reduced. The products of the two-electron reduction of α-aminoketones are the ketone -COCH3 and the amine NR3.When the carbonyl compound is reducible (as it is in the case of acetophenone formed in the reduction of ω-piperidinoacetophenone methoiodide (I) and hydrochloride (II) or phenacylpyridinium chloride (VII) or in the case of acrolein formed in the reduction of β-N-triethylaminoacrolein perchlorate (VII)), another two-electron step, corresponding to the reduction of a ketone formed in the first step, appears. In hydrochlorides of α-aminoketones the C-N(+) bond is reduced in the protonized form only, with the grouping -COCH2NHR2 (+) but not in the free base. A comparison with other reductions of single bonds is given.
