Some amides can be reduced to aldehydes in the Sonn-Müller method, but most routes to aldehydes involve a well-chosen organometallic reductant. Lithium aluminum hydride reduces an excess of N,N-disubstituted amides to an aldehyde: [citation needed] R(CO)NRR' + LiAlH 4 → RCHO + HNRR' With further reduction the alcohol is obtained.
Nahm and Weinreb also reported the synthesis of aldehydes by reduction of the amide with an excess of lithium aluminum hydride (see amide reduction). The Weinreb–Nahm ketone synthesis. The major advantage of this method over addition of organometallic reagents to more typical acyl compounds is that it avoids the common problem of over-addition.
Attack by water converts 6 to protonated imidic acid 7, which undergoes loss of proton to arrive at the imidic acid tautomer of the final amide. In an alternative mechanism, the migration occurs at 9, directly after protonation of intermediate 3, in a manner similar to the Baeyer–Villiger oxidation to give protonated amide 10. Loss of a ...
Instead, as the reaction proceeds, the imine becomes favoured for reduction over the carbonyl starting material. [2] The two most common methods for direct reductive amination are hydrogenation with catalytic platinum, palladium, or nickel catalysts and the use of hydride reducing agents like cyanoborohydride (NaBH 3 CN).

This compound is used as a reducing agent in organic synthesis, especially for the reduction of esters, carboxylic acids, and amides. The solid is dangerously reactive toward water, releasing gaseous hydrogen (H 2). Some related derivatives have been discussed for hydrogen storage.
Stephen aldehyde synthesis, a named reaction in chemistry, was invented by Henry Stephen (OBE/MBE).This reaction involves the preparation of aldehydes (R-CHO) from nitriles (R-CN) using tin(II) chloride (SnCl 2), hydrochloric acid (HCl) and quenching the resulting iminium salt ([R-CH=NH 2] + Cl −) with water (H 2 O).
Weerman degradation, also named Weerman reaction, is a name reaction in organic chemistry.It is named after Rudolf Adrian Weerman, who discovered it in 1910. [1] In general, it is an organic reaction in carbohydrate chemistry in which amides are degraded by sodium hypochlorite, forming an aldehyde with one less carbon. [2]
This method can also be used with primary diazoalkanes, to produce secondary α-diazo ketones. However, there are many limitations. Primary diazoalkanes undergo azo coupling to form azines; thus the reaction conditions must be altered such that acid chloride is added to a solution of diazoalkane and triethylamine at low temperature.
