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.
These possibilities have been used to account for the fact that, for certain substrates like α-tetralone, the group that migrates can sometimes change, depending on the conditions used, to deliver either of the two possible amides.

The Schotten–Baumann reaction is a method to synthesize amides from amines and acid chlorides: An example of a Schotten-Baumann reaction. Benzylamine reacts with acetyl chloride under Schotten-Baumann conditions to form N-benzylacetamide. Schotten–Baumann reaction also refers to the conversion of acid chloride to esters.
The reaction of a substituted amide with phosphorus oxychloride gives a substituted chloroiminium ion (2), also called the Vilsmeier reagent. The initial product is an iminium ion (4b), which is hydrolyzed to the corresponding ketone or aldehyde during workup. [7] The Vilsmeier–Haack reaction
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]
Schwartz's reagent is the common name for the organozirconium compound with the formula (C 5 H 5) 2 ZrHCl, sometimes called zirconocene hydrochloride or zirconocene chloride hydride, and is named after Jeffrey Schwartz, a chemistry professor at Princeton University.
At low pH values, it efficiently reduces aldehydes and ketones. [7] As the pH increases, the reduction rate slows and instead, the imine intermediate becomes preferential for reduction. [ 7 ] For this reason, NaBH 3 CN is an ideal reducing agent for one-pot direct reductive amination reactions that don't isolate the intermediate imine.
