  1. The heteroleptic borane catalyst (C 6 F 5 ) 2 B(CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 )BPin is found to hydrosilylatively reduce amides under mild conditions. Simple tertiary amides can be reduced using Me 2 EtSiH, whereas tertiary benzamides required a more reactive secondary silane, Et 2 SiH 2 , for efficient reduction. The catalytic system described exhibits exceptional chemoselectivity in the reduction of oligoamides and tolerates functionalities which are prone to reduction under similar conditions.
