Abstract
An efficient catalytic Staudinger reduction at room temperature provides structurally diverse amines from azides in excellent yields in the presence of catalytic amounts of triphenylphosphine and diphenyldisiloxane as terminal reducing agent. The reaction exhibits high chemoselectivity and tolerates nitriles, alkenes, alkynes, esters, and ketones.
