  • This problem involves the conversion of an aldehyde into a secondary amine, which should alert us to the possibility of a reductive amination.
  • The Gabriel synthesis cannot be used to make the desired amine.
  • This problem involves the conversion of a ketone into a reduced form to give a secondary amine, which should alert us to the possibility of a reductive amination.
  • The forward synthesis is shown.
    • First the alkene is reduced to give the desired secondary amine, which is verted into a primary alcohol via hydroboration-oxidation to give anti-Markovnikov addition of H O.
