The selective catalytic C–N bond cleavage of amides into value-added amine products is a desirable but challenging transformation. Molecules containing iminodibenzyl motifs are prevalent in pharmaceutical molecules and functional materials. Here we established a combined KOH/BEt 3 catalyst for deaminative hydroboration of acyl-iminodibenzyl derivatives, including nonheterocyclic carboxamides, to the corresponding amines. This novel transition-metal-free methodology was also applied to the construction of Clomipramine and luminophores.
