Reduction of thioamides to amines

4-Dimethylaminopyridine-BH3 as the boryl radical precursor promotes a
desulfurizative reduction to access organic amines in the presence of PhSH as
the polarity reversal catalyst. Alternatively a N-heterocyclic carbene-BH3
as the boryl radical precursor and sterically bulky Ph3CSH as
catalyst can be used for annulation of unsaturated thioamides allowing for the
construction of N-heterocyclic and carbocyclic skeletons.
