Abstract
Abstract An unusually strong affinity of unsupported nanoporous gold (AuNPore) towards aldimines and ketimines has been demonstrated. By using PhMe2SiH and water as a hydrogen source and AuNPore as a catalyst, ketimines and aldimines can be reduced to the corresponding amines in high chemical yields under mild conditions. This system was also applied to the reductive amination of aldehydes and ketones.
