Petasis reaction

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Petasis reaction is the chemical reaction of an amine, aldehyde, and vinyl- or aryl-boronic acid to form substituted amines.[1][2][3]

The Petasis reaction

The Petasis reaction can be viewed as a boronic acid equivalent of the Mannich reaction, and is often used as an alternative to the reductive amination reaction.

[edit] Applications

In one application the Petasis reaction is used for quick access to a multifunctional scaffold for divergent synthesis.[4][5]
